It was this son who was bornMay 22, 1844, the same day that the Babor forerunner, announced in another part of the Empire that the kingdom of God had that day come to the world; the same day upon which the Millerites were expecting the Coming of the kingdom in the United States. Queen Victoria's Wise Reply. "In 1868, the, second date figured out by the Bible chronologists as the time when God would be manifested, this God-man, Beha. Ullah, sent out his invitations to the governments of the world, telling the vari-our rulers that he was the fulfillment of all the prophecies, and commanding their attention and obedience to this summons from the kingdom of God. "In response to this demand on the nations -the late Queen Victoria said to the messenger: 'If this be of God, it will stand; if not, time will take care of it." This was considered a wise answer.

Foretold Lonis Nnnoleon'i Doom. "Xapoleon III, upon reading his tablet, contemptuously tore it up, saying: 'If this man be God, then I am two Behil Ullah sent to him a second tablet saying that he would soon be humiliated and would finally lose his crown. Subsequent' history shows that this was fulfilled. "Tablets were also sent to the Shah of Persia, the Pope of Rome and the President of the United States, as well as other rulers. Regards Effendi As The Lord.

"We regard Abbas Effendi the second coming of Christ our Lord on earth. His coming parallels the first coming of Christ. The wise men followed the star from Persia. Abbas Elfendi was also born in Persia and by the line of banishment was finally sent to Acre, where he now resides, which is but a few miles from Bethlehem. "The teachings of Beha Ullah and his son stand for the elevatio'n of the human race, the abolition of war, the unification of all religions and the brotherhood of man.

It stands for the fulfillment of the prophetic promises made by the prophets of all religions which have outlined a time in the world's history when the knowledge of the glory of God shall cover the earth as the water covers the sea, arid when the lion and lamb shall lie down together and a little child shall lead them. "We have no ministers, no sacraments. The God-manifestation, Beha Ullah, gave to the world several volumes which will constitute an accurate code of laws for the human race. These volumes are now being translated and will soon be made public. Desert Becomes A Garden.

"Xow I know that the prophecies of the Bible are true and have been fulfilled and that the second coming of Christ has taken place and is now manifested at Acre, in Palestine, as we are told that the land of Achor shall become to the world a door of hope. That very place (Acre), which 22 years ago, when Beha. Ullah went there, was a desert, has now, by the falling of rains, become a beautiful, watered garden of fruits and flowers. So that the words of the prophets are realized by those who have seen the place: 'This land, so long desolate, has become like the Garden of This has become a veritable fact." 0 Schism Appears; As stated above, what is known as the Bab movement began in 1844, when Mirza All Mohammed, afterward known as the Bab (door or gate), declared that "the kingdom of God has come to the earth." After the martyrdom of the. Bab and when Beha.

Ullah proclaimed himself as "him whom God shall manifest," many of the followers of the new religion, who were known as Babis, accepted Behfi. Ullah's proclamation. A small minority of the Babis, however, refused to accept Beha. Ullah as "him whom God shall manifest" and, under the leadership of Hazrat-I-Ezel (his Highness the Eternal), taught that the Lord had not yet come. The followers of this branch of the Babis, now inconsiderable in numbers, are known as Ezelis.

After the declaration of Behfi. Ullah the Babis who believed in him took the name of Behaists, by which all of the believers in Behfi Ullah are now known. Method Of Propaganda. A writer, in speaking of the new religion, says: "The method of propaganda pursued by these Behaists Is remarkable. From the Very first they try to confirm you in your own religion, showing you that in its origin it is of divine inspiration and that it was given to you in accordance with your state of preparation to recetve It.

But every perfect man, say the Behaists, comes to the point where he is no longer In complete harmony with the surroundings which his forefathers prepared. "According to whether you are Jew or Christian they try from the start to prove to you from the Bible or the Gospel exclusively that Behfi. Ullah is indeed the great whose appearance is necessary to the world, and that he has returned with signs which permit you to recognize, him from your Bible and at the very time pointed out bv the book. "They deal in the same way. with the adept of the religion gf Enoch, with the followers of Buddha, with those of Zoroaster." Converts In This Country.

Investigation of the new religion is now being made by a number of persons in this country, and there are about 70 professed believers in Baltimore. While in Washington the reporter of The Sux met two men at the house of Mirza Abul Fazl, having come to Washington several days ago to make an investigation and to learn of the doctrines from Abul Fazl While it would be difficult to state anything like accurately the number of believers in the United States, it is known that in many of the larger cities there are numerous persons investigating this religion. Behaists teach that the "time of the end" will close in the year 1917. One of the best known of American Behaists Is Miss Sarah J. Farmer, of Green-acre, Maine, whose summer conferences for the study of comparative religion and economics have attracted representatives of many schools of thought.

Historic Acre. The center of Behaism, Acre, or St. John of Acre, has figured prominently in history. It is situated on the seacoast, on the Mediterranean sea. about 30 miles south of Tyre and eight miles north of Mount Car-mei.

It has been called the "Key of Palestine," and has been the scene of many famous sieges and battles. It was taken by the crusaders in 1104, and retaken by the Saracens in 1187. In 1191 it was recovered by the crusaders under Guido of Jerusalem. Philip of France and Richard the Llon-Hcarted of England, and held by them until they were finally driven out of Palestine in 1291. Bonaparte besieged it for 60 days in 1799, but failed to take it.

In 1840 It was bombarded and captured by an English fleet. Its population is about 10,000. TABERNACLE SOCIETY MEETS Receives Papal Blessing: And Has An Exhibition Of Work.

YESSELS AND MAILS ARE LATE Masses Of Snow On The Streets And Roads Afford Excellent Sleighing And CoastingAccidents Reported Baltimore got a little more snow yesterday," but there was so much lying around in the streets already that the addition made no Appreciable difference. During a large part of the day It was difficult to tell whether rain or snow fell, so fine were the descending particles of moisture. The total precipitation was .12 of an inch, .10 being mingled sleet and snow. The downtown streets were slippery and disagreeable and -in the more remote sections of the city the thoroughfares presented a scene much like the Klondike, the big drifts thrown up by the railway sweepers being difficult to cross. The of-clal thermometer showed the weather to be colder than it seemed, for at no time did the mercury rise above 28, an altitude which It attained at 3 P.

and it ranged from that down to the minimum at 7 A. There was not much wind, the maximum velocity being nine miles an hour from the northeast. Other Cities Have Snow. A number of cities throughout-the country had snow, and Baltimore was a little better off than most places in this latitude in regard to temperature. The maximum in Washington for the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock last night was 20 degrees, while It 18 degrees at Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.

Louis. Pittsburg had a maximum of 20 degrees. Key West was the warmest place in the country, with a maximum of 70 degrees, and Eastport.Maine, was the coldest, with 4 degrees. The forecaster does not give -much hope of good weather for a day or two, the forecast for Maryland being rain or snow today, with probably rain tomorrow; cloudy and colder in the extreme western part of the State, and light northeasterly to easterly winds, becoming variable. Xav igation Much Impeded.

Navigation In the river from Fort Carroll to outside the channels was attended with mere serious difficulties yesterday than at any time since the beginning of winter. both can and spar, have been carried away or moved or are hidden under the running ice, and large vessels will not enter or leave until changes in the weather make their movements assured. The steamers Charlois, Abouklr and Kestor, from foreign ports, are at the lower end of the bay: They passed in on Thursday, but tho continued fog, snow and Ice, with the channel marks gone, make it dangerous for theni to come up. The steamer Anthony Groves, from Philadelphia, arrived at 2.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when she should have been at her wharf at 7 A. M.

The Endeavor rived late from Eastern Shore landings. The steamer Gratitude got her condenser choked with Ice and lay in the river several hours to clear It before she could proceed ward. The big Boston ocean tug Wrestler, which started on Thursday evening for Salem with the coal-laden barge X. W. Xo.

2, found herself unable to proceed yesterday afternoon. The barge is probably ashore near Seven-Foot Knoll, and the Wrestler came to port to remain until there rs a chance to proceed with the tow. The tugs Stella and Favorite, with light oil barges, had to be cut out and given a clear track behind the Iceboats Latrobe and which went into hard work yesterday. The tug Sarah had to abandon towing the schooner Sagamore out the channels and let her come to anchor off Sparrows Point. The schooner is laden with coal for Portland.

Alabama Goes Aground. While being towed out of Curtis bay with coal for Tampico and Vera Cruz the British steamer Alabama got out of the channel and went aground, where she will remain until it is safe to pull at her. The tugs Curtin and Gen. I. J.

WIstar, with three barges from Chesapeake City for Norfolk, had a hard time coming down the bay, although they were assisted by the tug Sidney. The masters thought it better to come Into the Patapsco, where the- barges were anchored in the ice, to remain until -fiey can proceed. The barges were said to have been Injured by the ice. On Thursday evening the revenue cutter Windom, Captain Gooding, found the tug Irene with a scow of bricks completely blocked by the lee in the river below Fort Carroll. The Windom cut a swath to the boat and her tow and took them behind her in finestyle until off Curtis bay, where the master of the tug said he was safe, xie had left Curtis bay In the' morning for Annapolis with the scow of bricks for the Xaval Academy improvements.

Uncertainty of navigation through the channels prevented the Xorth German Lloyd steajner Weimar from sailing yesterday afternoon for Bremen with passengers' and cargo. The pilot promises to take her out today, when tkere will be a certainty of daylight. If necessary, one of the iceboats will go before her. Bay Steamers Generally Late. Traffic by bay steamers which have their berths along Light street, xwas partly resumed yesterday, but all the boats that left were late.

The steamers Chesapeake, Potomac, Nantlcoke and Avalon, of the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Line, were six hours behind time. The Georgia, of the Old Bay Line, was two hours late, and the Cambridge, which went to Claiborne and was due to return at noon, did not arrive until 4 P. M. The Ericsson, plying between here and Philadelphia, and the Augusta, of the Chesapeake Line, were only an hour late. Floating ice was the main cause of the trouble.

The Joppa and the Tred Avon, of the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic, were tied up all day, along with the Westmoreland, of the Weems Line. The Gratitude, plying to points on' the Chester River, started out, but had to turn back after reaching Seven Foot Knoll. The Emma Ford, of the Chester River Line, and the Lancaster, of the Weems Company, made their regular trips, but the former was three and a half and the latter two hours behind their schedules. Malls Still Delayed. The storm continued to interfere with the receipts and dispatch of mails at the Baltimore Postoffice yesterday.

The delay was not as great as on Thursday, but nearly all mails were late in arriving, and all outgoing mails were closed earlier than the usual tiiue so as to enable the wagons to reach the railroad stations in time. The carriers were also inconvenienced by the accumulation of snow In the streets. Acting Marshal Farnan issued an order yesterday directing the force to break up any promiscuous throwing of snowballs in the city. The caking of snow under the heels of her shoes caused Mrs. Kate Schultz, 50 years old, to 'fall in the vestibule of her house, C02 West Lombard street.

At the Maryland University Hospital it was found that she had broken a thigh. After receiving preliminary treatment she was taken back home. Fine Sleighing In The County. The sleighing in the vicinity of Towson is excellent and some handsome turnouts can be seen on the roads there. Yesterday afternoon a large sleigh, drawn by two handsome horses, pulled into Towson with about 22 lively young girls from Xotre Dame, on Charles Street avenue.

They were accompanied by a Sister and had a jolly good time. Some bf the roads in the county are so badly blockaded with snow that persons driving find progress barred and take to the fields in order to get around the obstruction. A large sleighing party, composed of about 30 young. people from Glyndon and Reis-terstown, visited Westminster last night and took dinner at the Westminster Hurt While Coasting.

mowing machine, and who came to Macon on a. visit a short time ago from New Haven, died Saturday at the City Hospital after being 111 for three weeks. When Goodyear arrived In Macon he became greatly impressed with the city and decided to remain here the balance pf his life. He said the only objection he could find with Georgia or Macon was in the fact that there are so many negroes who will not work, who get a living out of the white people. Mr.

Goodyear was 71 years of age and a cousin of the Goodyear family who are known far and wide as manufacturers of rubber goods. Court Of Appeals Decides Against Farmers Company Of York.

Buchanan TALKS WITH SUN REPORTER Why Followers Of The Sew Faith Believe That In Annas Effendi Christ Has Come For Second Time. Disagreeable weather last night did not keep upward of a hundred believers in the new religion, Behaism, from attending the meeting held at 1041 Xorth Eutaw street, the local headquarters of the cult. Col. Xat Ward Fitz-Gerald, of Washington, D.C., conducted the lesson during the evening, and Expatiated upon many, points of doctrine, quoting passages from the Scriptures to support the claim of the Behaists that God has been manifested upon earth a second time. Visit To Mirza Abnl Fal.

Interest in the Behaist movement In this country has been considerably quickened by the presence of Mirza Abul Fazl, one of the prominent and learned teachers of Behaism, and one who was born in the same year with Abbas Effendi, "His servant the and the present head of the new religion, now living at Acre in Palestine. Mirza Abul Fazl enjoys still another distinction. For some time he lived in close proximity with Beha Ullah, the "Blessed Perfection," and the "God Manifestation," and conversed with. him. Mirza Abul Fazl is now living at 1717 De Sales street, Washington, D.

where he is daily holding conferences with inquirers after the new religion, which, it is said, has swept through Persia like a whirlwind. He was visited at that number yesterday by a reporter for The Sux. Mirza Abul Fazl is a picturesque character and is a fine type of the Oriental scholar. About the medium stature, he is thin, with a countenance bright and mobile. His complexion is -dark.

His attire is that of a Persian professor. He wears a sort of gown of brown with a sash or cincture of white about the waist. His hair, which is combed back from his forehead, Is kept short, in conformity with one of the commands in the "Akdas" (the Most Holy), the book of laws left by Beha, Ullah, which says that the "hair must not grow beyond the ears." There are two other Persian teachers of Behaism in this country at present. They are Mirza Assad Ullah and Xiaz Effendi el Kermani. Both are old men and in attire and appearance resemble somewhat Mirza Abul Mirza Assad Lllah, with his son, Mirza Ameen Ullah, held a conference at the local Behaist headquarters in this city about two weeks ago.

Like Mirza Abul Fazl, Mirza Assad Ullah is unable to speak English, and his son, Mirza Ameen Ullah, acts as his Interpreter. Both are very familiar with the Bible. Tells Of Xew Religion, Mirza Abul Fazl was found engaged In explaining the new religion to two inquirers from Virginia. One of these was Mr. H.

F. Brinton, of Stony Man P. O. When he learned that the reporter had called for the purpose of securing some information about himself and some account of Behaism, the teacher willingly consented to speak of the new religion and of his conversion to it. Mirza Abul Fazl has a romantic history.

He was born of Mohammedan parents and when he embraced Behaism was cast Into prison, shorn of his fortune and driven from his home. In Teheren, Persia, where his father is a great merchant. He expects many converts in America. Mrs. Getslnger Studies It.

Washington has recently become a seat or center of the new religion in this country, and several prominent believers and teachers are now there. Among these is Mrs. Loua M. Getsinger, a well-knoyn resident of the capital, who spent about a year at Acre, where Abbas Effendi lived and which is the center of the Behaist movement. Mrs.

Getsinger lived nine months at the home of Abbas where she saw him daily and took instructions from him. He conferred upon her the title of "maid-servant of the Lord," and especially commissioned her to carry the new religion to the United States. She is, therefore, very active in the work and gives lessons frequently in Washington. Colonel Fits-Gerald Explains. Col.

Xat Ward Fitz-Gerald in explaining the new faith quoted at great length from the prophecies of Ezekiel, Daniel.Isaiah and others to establish a second coming of Christ. Chronologists had fixed upon the year 1844 for that great event. The Colonel continued: "On May 22, 1844. a sect in the United States, known as Millerites, expected the return of our Lord from Heaven, and so sure were they that He would be manifested on that day, they gave away all of their property and, clad in their best robes, they went out upon the hills in several States to meet the Lord, expecting to be caught up with Him in the air. Of course, the world knows that they were disappointed, and while many turned away from the belief, others rectified their dates and found that they had made a mistake, and then announced that the second coming of Christ would take place in 1868, or not later than June, 1869.

Suffice it to say that these dates also-passed away, in so far as we In the Western World knew anything about it, without the second coming taking place. "Bnt had we known what was transpiring in another part of the world, we would have known that the dates were fulfilled exactly as they had been figured out by the scholars of this country and England. Forerunner Appears. "At the time fixed by the chronologists for the manifestation of God. there appeared in Persia on the very day the Mil lerites were looking for his coming, a young man of noble family and pure lineage, the son of a great merchant.

He was 25 years old and he had been noted for his precocity from his earliest youth. He made the proc lamation that the time had been fulfilled and this day has the kingdom of God come to the world. He was an expert. or adept in all of the prophecies of the Bible and the teachings of Mohammed as well, and his utterances were so astounding and far- reaching in their effect that all the land of Persia was soon astir with this wonderful news. Tens of thousands flocked to his standards, until his following became so great that the Mohammedan teachers saw that unless his career could be cut short all Persians would soon be believers in his teachings.

Mirza All A Martyr. "This young man, whose name was Mirza AliMohammed, was known as the 'Gate' or 'Door, and we must remember that our prophets said that before that great day of the Lord a forerunner would come to make the announcement. "He was so learned that he refuted the Mohammedan teachers came to Inter view him. many of whom became his de voted followers. From the first he said that he would teach nine years and would then suffer a martyr's death, but that shortly after his death God Himself would be manifested in the earth through some great one whom God had raised up to fulfill the prophecies and to bring about the establishment of the kingdom of, God, the unification of all religions and universal peace among the nations; the ushering in of the time when nations should learn war no more.

"Finally the Bab, as he was called, was martyred in 1S52. But his death did not stop the movement: on the contrary, it seemed to increase fourfold. "During the teachings of the Bab, he told the people that, he through whom God should manifest Himself would make himself known and that this manifestation would take place shortly after his martyrdom. Beha Ullah Appears. "Sure enough, about two years after, a young man, some 35 years old, who at that time had a son 9 years old, proclaimed himself as the one of whom the Bab had been the forerunner, stating that he was the fulfillment of all of the prophecies and the manifestation of God.

His following increased so rapidly that the government arrested him and some of his followers and banished him. Still be continued his teachings and writings, and then he was sent to Adrianople and finally to Acre, on the coast of Palestine. There he continued his teachings until 40 years of his ministry had been fulfilled, and he then expired. His followers increased all over the Old World. "M'hlle at Acre he was commanded not to leave the place, but he had the liberty of the city.

Prophesied His Own Death. "Some 17 years before his demise he wrote a full account of the. day, hour and manner in which, when his work was completed, he would pass on. That writing was sealed and was not to be opened until after hia death, and when it was opened it was found that it was an accurate' prophecy to the letter. "This man was known as Beha Ullah, which means, the 'Shining Glory of God." He was the human form through which God Himself.

He taught for 40. years, a significant. Bible Mantle Falls On Abbas Effendi. "With him when he announced himself was his son, Abbas Effendi. He ppinted out this son as he upon whom his mantle Fourth Vice-President Miss Lillian Sheckells.
