[192] Dealy says: "To quote all the passages of Scripture referring to Acca would necessitate reading a great portion of the Bible. They identify Accho with Acca (Acre). Even if this were so, Accho was not in the land of Naphtali and Zebulun, but in Asher. Napoleon's siege of Acre is called 'the abomination of desolation, standing in the holy place'" (p. 40). [193] Isa. xi. 1-10. [194] "Answered Questions," pp. 72-75. [195] Kheiralla, p. 419. [196] Dealy, pp. 31-32, 44. [197] "Answered Questions," pp. 50-52. [198] Kheiralla (pp. 412, 480-483) also skips from lunar to solar year and back, to make the dates tally. [199] "Answered Questions," pp. 54-55. See Milman's "Gibbon," Vol. II, p. 433. "The Emperor Hadrian's plowshare levelled the temple area." [200] "Answered Questions," pp. 54-55. [201] "Bahai Proofs," p. 140. "All in their graves arose spiritually at his call, for service in his cause." [202] Pages 17-67. [203] Doctor Potter of Teheran says ("Missions and Modern Hist.," by R. E. Speer, p. 162): "Their fanciful interpretations of plain Scripture declarations renders it difficult to make any impression on them with proof texts from the Bible. They reply, 'Yes, but we must break open the word and extract its meaning.'" This, says Doctor Holmes, "is often directly at variance with its apparent meaning, but this only displays more clearly the divine insight of their teacher, that he is able to recognize words no one else can understand." [204] _The Outlook_ (New York), 1901, June, p. 451. [205] In one particular, no doubt, Baha has fulfilled prophecy. At least the Azalis say that he came "as a thief" and stole the succession from Azal. [206] "New Hist.," p. 321. [207] "Bahai Proofs," pp. 190, 204-207. [208] Mrs. Grundy, p. 13.

Thornton Chase says: "Christianity stands condemned because it refuses to reject miracles and the blood atonement and will not confine itself to the precepts of Jesus" ("Bahai Revelation," p. 158). [215] "Bahai Proofs," p. 155. [216] "Tablets of Abdul Baha," Vol. I, p. 192; "Answered Questions," pp. 120-121. [217] Yet Baha informs us that "copper in seventy years becomes gold in its mine if it be protected from a superabundance of moisture" ("Ikan," p. 111). [218] "New Hist."

V Bahaism and Christianity (_Continued_) Mrs. Goodall:--"Is it necessary to arise to say the midnight prayers and to make ablution before them?" Abdul Baha:--"Ablution is only for obligatory prayers three times a day."--"_Daily Lessons_," p. 74.
