IVY LIFE WAS CHANGED Particularly the Fourth, That Deals with the Sabbath, That I Was Thrown Into Perplexity Volume 74 Price 3d. Number 26 Warburton, Victoria, Australia, June 29, 1959 ATIE," I said excitelo$ ly, "I have been attending a course of Bible K lectures by an evangelist in the Town Hall. They are wonderful! They are opening up truths to me that I never dreamed of. You must go with me to hear them." These words marked a crisis in my life, an entrance into a spiritual fellowship with Christ as my Saviour that has been a joy and satisfaction from that time to this. With my mother I began to attend these lectures every Sunday night; and I shall never lose the thrill and inspira- tion that came to me as the minister of the Word explained the doctrines of the Scriptures and interpreted the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation and other Biblical predictions that reveal that we are living in the closing days of earth's history. However, it was when the preacher came to the Ten Commandments, and IVY LIFE WAS CHANGED particularly the fourth, that deals with the Sabbath, that I was thrown into perplexity. At the time I was a mem- ber of one of the popular Protestant How I Came to Keep the Seventh Day As the Sabbath churches, a leader in the young people's work in the parish. I had been a faithful attendant at every Sunday service and WILLIAM G. WIRTH had taken an active part in the Sunday school. There was never any question in my mind about what day was the Sab- bath of the fourth commandment. I as- sumed, of course, that it was Sunday. To say I was shocked when the evangelist showed plainly from the Scripture, the calendar, and history that the seventh day was not Sunday but Saturday, would be to express my feelings feebly. So important was this matter that I had to know for myself if what I had heard was true. I turned to books of his- tory, only to find that it was not until after the days of the apostles that the day was changed from the seventh to the first. I read Uriah Smith's "Daniel and the Revelation" and saw clearly that in Daniel it was predicted that the time would come when a false ecclesiasticism would support this change of the Sab- bath from the seventh to the first day of the week. To get more information I decided to consult some Protestant minis- ters I knew. One tossed the matter off lightly by assuring me that so long as I kept one day holy, the one that most peo- ple observed, that was all that mattered. When I inquired if God meant what He said when He specified a certain, distinct day as the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, there was no response save that now most Christians keep the first day. Another minister informed me that Christians now observe the first day of the week because Christ arose on that day. But when I asked for Scriptural ier,iiipp.---qup.---41..---NopP"mor"iiiii.P1"11111.-.141r- IPP-411,1"141Pr-`41.1111r-"4111P"\Pr-4111P"'-'1111P"-"MPIr-'4111PP"-\P""41111P"' (Registered at the G.P.O., Melbourne, for transmission by post as a newspape, proof for this change, he could not find it his feeling, and that for the good of the Sabbath of the Bible was the seventh day in the Bible. firm's order of business they could not of the week, and I had purposed to obey Feeling, as most Christians do, that afford to employ someone who would not my Lord, I could do no other than keep our faith should be based upon God's work six days a week.

Opinion differs widely upon many of the issues raised, and upon the best way of dealing with them. But there will be no unwillingness in any quarter to admit that in the months to come the future of India will present to the people of this country the most difficult task in practical statesmanship with which thet 1hive ever been confronted. If the decision is to be a wise one it must rest upon a sound conception of the problem itself, and in that problem the place that is to be taken in the new India by the Indian States is an essential factor. Should they join the rest of India in a Federation ? Would they bring strength to a Federal Government, or weakness? Are their interests compatible with adhesion to an All-India v Vl INTRODUCTION Federation? What should be the range of the Federal Government's jurisdiction over them? These are some of the questions upon which keen debate will shortly arise.

This aspect of study of the holy Quran is purely religious.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Prior to 194-7 approximately one-third of the Indian sub-continent was broken up into 655 Indian States which were ruled by princes of varying rank. In the process of consolidating their empire in India the British had, during the first half of the nineteenth century, deprived the princes of the power to conduct external relations with each other or with foreign powers. Internally the princes were theoretically independent but their sovereignty in this respect was in practice restricted by the paramountcy of the Imperial power. Many of the princes resented the manner in which the British used this paramountcy to justify intervening in their domestic affairs. During the nineteenth century the British had maintained the princes basically as an administrative convenience and as a source of revenue.

  • Princely Gifts
    1 PRINCELY GIFTS I. RAJAHS IN THE RAJ A. HOW MANY PRINCES? The Raj had to work through the native princes. – the Wali of Swat – the Jam of Nawanagar – the Maharajah of Patiala, whose official name was so long that the word Lord appeared 108 times, and to shorten it, the numbers 108 were put into it after the first use of the word Lord.1 &c.2 1 John Gunther, Inside Asia, 447. 2 Something to get straight right away. A Rajah is not the same as a Maharajah. The term raja means “one who rules.” It also means “one whose duty is to please.” This is the original Sanscritic meaning – implying, necessarily, the responsibility of a prince to his people. But the term, in its official sense, needs distinguishing. Rajah means “ king.” Maharajah means ‘great king.” Generally the title “His Highness” goes with Maharajahs, and some of only the very highest rank of Rajah. So You couldn’t have a Maharajah of Sangli – only a Rajah. But the head of Indore or Kalat or Travancore – all 19-gun salute men – would have to be Maharajahs. See Charles Allen and Sharada Dwivedi, Lives of the 2 Even in 1900, India had 575 of them. Their domain – 822,000 square miles – or about 2/5ths of the subcontinent.

  • Pickthall's Islamic Politics
    chapter 5 Pickthall’s Islamic Politics M.A. Sherif India in the early 1920s was in political ferment. It was also a time of fragile political consensus, bringing together Muslims, Hindus and other religious communities. For Muslims, the dominant concern was the future of Ottoman Turkey and the Caliphate. A news report published in the Urdu journal Muslim conveys the atmosphere at Bombay’s Parsi Assembly Hall one evening in April 1922, in the aftermath of the Treaty of Sèvres: When Pickthall arose to deliver his speech, the hall resounded with shouts of pleasure. He first thanked the audience and then noted that the people of Hindustan must surely be astounded by the conditions im- posed on Turkey by the Paris Peace Conference but he was not surprised. [He said] “I knew beforehand that the Paris Peace Conference would not arrive at any sensible decision […] Gallipoli and the north of the Sea of Marmara is being given to Greece even though it has no rights over these […] moreover the Angora Government will not accept these conditions. […] When I was in Paris I met Muslim representatives from all over the world. In my opinion, the Muslims of Hindustan should not have hopes that the demands of the Turkish freedom-seekers on the Khilafat will be the same as those they have presented. The reality is that Hindustan’s Muslims sided with Britain in the war against the Turks, and I too am in the same boat. I joined the battle on behalf of Britain. In the promises made to us it was clearly expressed that it would not be against the welfare of Islam and the jaziratul Arab.

  • Tadhkirat Al-Sh.U Lara
    Mir Dawlatshah Samarqandi Tadhkirat al-sh.u lara Mir Dawlatshah Samarqandi was the son of Amir Ala'uddawla Bakhtishah Isfarayini, one of Shahrukh's courtiers, and nephew of the powerful Amir Firozshah. Unlike his fore- bears, who "passed their time as aristocrats in ostentatiousness and opulence," Mir Dawlatshah, who was of a dervish bent and had some poetic talent, "sought seclusion and contented himself with a life of spiritual poverty and rustication to acquire learning and perfection."! At the age of fifty he began his Tadhkirat al-shu'ara (Memorial of poets), anecdotes about and short biographies of 150 Persian poets, ancient and modern, which he completed in 892/1487. The judgment of Mir Ali-Sher Nawa'i, to whom the work was dedicated, was that "anyone who reads it will realize the merit and talent of the compiler." Although the book deals primarily with poets, since poets generally were inextricably bound to royal patrons, it contains valuable anecdotal information on many pre- Timurid, Timurid and Turcoman rulers. The synopses of rulers' careers and anecdotes illustrative of their characters included by Dawlatshah are translated and given here. * SULTANUWAYS JALAYIR2 out of a greedy poet's house is a difficult task," and gave him the candlestick.

  • A Spectacular Armor and Its Depictions in Early Modern Augsburg1
    Memories in Steel and Paper: A Spectacular Armor and Its Depictions in Early Modern Augsburg1 Chassica Kirchhoff This article examines a lineage of retrospective images that portray Maximi­ lian I as armored Archduke of Austria and Duke of Burgundy, riding a horse that is clad in impressive plate armor from its head to its hooves. These art­ works, which span the sixteenth century, participate in the early modern cultures of remembrance that surround Maximilian’s knightly persona and posthumous mythos. The central image of the study is a drawing, created during the 1540s, that is bound into the so­called Thun­Hohenstein Album. This drawing synthesizes two earlier paintings, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, that represent triumphal entries into the cities of Namur and Luxembourg in 1480. A later image, created in Augsburg around 1575, exactly parallels the drawing in the Thun album, which it may copy.
