where his solitary tomb still stands.
This unorthodox assertion has aroused
considerable interest among a certain
sect of enthusiastic religious followers
in Quadiani's native country and they
have shown an inclination to accent
his reasonings as establishing a TACT
beyond question.
1t is the contention of these peculiar
believers that there is in the north of
India an old tomb, called the tomb of
the prince and prophet They assert
That it has existed since the GAYS of
christ, having been erected about
1900 years ago, when prophet calling
himself prince and prophet entered
the country from the west. They say,
TOO, that he called himself by the
name OF Issa Sahib and Use Asuf. The
theory that some disciple of Christ
may have come into Cashmere and
breathed his last is denied by these
people, who assert that no one save
the Lord himself ever bore the title of
prince and prophet.
A thing pointed out as of peculiar
Importance is that there are number
OF towns in Cashmere which bear the
names of the old towns in Palestine.
the sacred abode of Christ. The mys-
ferrous tomb referred to, it is con-
tended, is surely in existence, and it is
held that the only thing necessary to
establish the fact that it is the burial
place of Christ is that it be excavated
and explored. 1t is pointed out that
immigration did take place from Pa
lestine into Cashmere, and signifi-
canoe is attached to the use of the
title Use Asuf, which is literally con-
structed as meaning a collector of
sheep. This in turn is held to i'm
portant, for the reason that the main
mission of Christ was to gather the
ten lost and scattered tribes of Israel
ties. who were driven over various
eastern countries by Sargon, king of
Assyria, and Nebuchadnezzar, king of
Babylon, in 721 and $50 B. c., re-
spectively. The use of the words Use
Asuf, it is claimed. is nothing but
another name for Jesus Christ, and
these are pointed out as facts which
no one can afford to ignore.
"It will be remembered" saws one
writing for this sect, that Jesus
Christ said in Luke that no sign but
that of Jonah would be shown to the
wicked race of the day. So, as Jonah
narrowly escaped death from the
mouth of the whale, Christ must neces-
sarily have escaped his death, which
he did, and fulfilled a prophecy by
working miracle like that of Jonah.
If Christ did not do so, we are COM
PEELED to admit that the Lords proph-
ecy turned out false When Christs's
bones were broken, like those of the

sides, were not these signs of life?
when he, after working numerous
miracles, got out on the frontier of
Galilee his followers could not recog-
nize him for he was much extern
uated in his body and had grown lean
and pale from the tortures of the
cross. Christ showed the wounds of
the cross, but they being rough and
superstitious fishermen were not con-
WINGED of the identity of the Savior
until he allowed them to put their
fingers into the prints of the nails in
his hands. This shows that the Lord
was not in spiritual but corporal
state in the truest sense of the word.
This fact falsifies the doctrine of
atonement
From what has been mentioned it
is easily proved historically, medical
ly, and philologically that Christ did
not expire on Calvary cross, but was
taken down in state of swoon and in
due time immigrated into Cashmere,
