God has manifested Himself to me not by His words. alone, but also by His works. He has shone upon me and has manifested and will manifest, for my sake, such works as are never manifested for any, save that he is a recipient of special favour. Men abandoned me but God accepted me. Who is there who can rival me in producing such signs ? I have been made manifest so that God may be made manifest through me. He was like a hidden treasure, but now by sending me He has resol- ved to seal the mouths of the atheists and disbelievers who denied His existence. But to you, dear ones, who seek the true God, I bear the glad tidings that the true God is He, Who revealed the Quran, Who has shone upon me and is ever with me. Ye, Ministers of the Christian Churches ! I adjure you in the name of that God, Who sent down Jesus the Christ, and remind you of and. adjure you by that love which you claim to bear to him, whom you call Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, that you for once do carefully go through my book "The Haqiqat-ul-Wahi," letter by letter from beginning to end. And should any learned man, in good faith, ask for the book and vouch that he would carefully study the same from beginning to end then I am prepared to send the book to him free of cost. And if the book fails to bring him conviction then I entertain every hope that God would show him some other sign, because He has promised that He would fulfill His signs upon this age. And with this I conclude and pray that God may be with those who seek truth Amen. Their humble servant, MIBZA GHULAM AHMAD, 20th March, 1897. Qadian, Dist.
