“A dangerous fanatie There is a well-known fanatic in the Punjab, he is now, we believe, in the Gurdaspur district, who calls himself Musalman and also the Messiah۔His prophecies regarding the death of a native Christian gentleman in Amritsar kept up an excitement in the city for some months; but fortunately his utterances were so badly charged that they have hung fire miserably and the doomed is still alive۔A fanatical vision of this sort is doubtless under the surveilance of the Police۔Whenever he preaches abroad serious disturbances of the peace are imminent, for he has a numerous following who are only less fanatical than himself۔: Of course no political danger can be apprehended from the vain imaginings of such a man ; but there is method in his madness۔He has undoubted literary ability and his writings are voluminous and learned; all the elements present for forming a dangerous rallying point of course among the Orthodox he is anathema morantha۔His fame has spread as far as even as distant Madras۔We give an extract from the Mohammedan, an English daily published in that city۔Deep religious conviction, such as that ascribed to the Qadian, is no matter for idle gibe, but we are afraid that even granting his mental health, it is so intermixed in the ⚫ reformer with a narrowness of view as to constitute him a crude reactionist۔His convictions inform all his moods and impart a sickly hue to all his environments۔Glimpses 11
