The same A rya brought twenty rupees and a post card from Munsh i Il a h i Bakhsh, Accountant, and it was discovered that the post card had not been attached to the money order and it was also discovered from the writing of Munsh i Il a h i Bakhsh that the money order had arrived at Qadian on September 6, 1883, that is to say, on the day on which the first revelation had been received. Thus, the whole statement of the postal clerk was proved wrong and the revelation of the All-Knowing was proved correct. In memory of this blessed day one rupee’s worth of sweets were distributed among others to some A ryas also.
