For example, take the case that was filed against me in the court of Douglas, by the efforts of these ‘religious’ priests who teach that one should present the other cheek when they are slapped. There are many hundreds of men who are a witness to how all of the events had been foretold before the fact, and how God saved me from every form of disgrace. When this case was filed against me initially in Amritsar, the Deputy Commissioner issued a warrant with bail set at 40,000 rupees. But look at the power of God that he was unable to serve the warrant and it had no greater pur - pose than to remain in his register. When later he was informed that it was illegal to issue such a warrant, he sent a telegram to Gurdaspur saying that the warrant should be withdrawn, but the warrant had not even reached there in the first place. Ultimately, the case began and the Christians left no stone unturned in their efforts to have me convicted. However, God manifested a sign of His power, and instead disgraced those who sought to disgrace me. Mr Douglas summoned me with the utmost respect and honour, and he gave me a chair in court, even though I do not care in the least about these things. There were certain Arya Samajists and Muslims that were conspiring with them.

Muhammad Husain appeared as a witness and was horribly disgraced when he demanded a chair in court. In the end, when all the proceedings had concluded, Abdul-Hameed openly confessed that he had been persuaded to give the false statement that he had been sent to commit the murder. After the entire case file had been compiled, God manifested the shining radiance of His power and put in Douglas’ heart that all of this was a lie. Hence, Douglas then said to Captain Le Marchand that his heart felt uneasy about the entire matter so he should question Abdul-Hameed again. Ultimately, Abdul-Hameed revealed the secret that he had been coached in his testimony. A telegram was then sent to the Deputy Commissioner. The outcome of this case was exactly as had been foretold in the prophecy that was published in all the cities of the land even before this case existed. Similarly, there is the sign of Lekhram and hundreds of other signs as well. Even if one observes his community, it is clear that the Messiah departed with failure. His disciples took oaths before him and cursed him. In contrast, the state of my community is that one of our devoted friends by the name of p. 471
