Fourth Paper Debate 25 May 1893 Proceedings Today, at 6:08 Mirza [Ghulam Ahmad] sahib started dictating his rebuttal and at 7:08 he completed it. At this occasion, a suggestion was made and was accepted by both parties, that because while the papers are being read, the transcribers interrupt to compare the writings, and this ruins the flow of the topic and the audience cannot enjoy the sub- ject matter being presented; therefore, it was decided that the papers should be compared by the transcribers before they are read out. Then Deputy Abdullah Atham started dictating his reply at 7:54 and completed it at 8:54. It was then read out loud after its comparison. Mirza sahib then started dictating his reply at 9:24 and completed it at 10:24:30 and it was then read out loud. After this, the Presidents of both parties signed the respective papers that were then given to each party. After this, the session was adjourned.
