the latter and the consequent slaughter of co, and bullocks in very i. numbers have paralysel the Indian itgriculti, trans

Killing op le of beef in nuial dare , is absolutely inconsis. tent with the ethics of Islam. In contimation of
Lise' nutes I ventue to repeat the substance of what I will that the priction
f heef-eating among the Jahomelans should be stanged out. I have
trying the enterprise in my owu Shia sect and may shortly extend my
ching tu Sunuis also. I have every hope that it no «distint date my niisa siderable among tie Mahomelan population in all co?"" suceed collpeninsula. I am determined to reiterate ! opinions till tisor me Indian ple and till I succeed in or endeavour. I have been seeing zacht all peu
nel of success whichi embollen nie tu go on slowly and ste:ulily till the
whout is wou. I am quite hopeful that my right minder brothers throughout kind cuongle to listen to me and concelle iv ny advice not by will be hut by leels asus. My conviction is that in the practice of ll alone there is no spiritual or temporal gain while there are many beunding respe it from leaving it. If there is only thing serious in the use of the I did! :griculture, transport and milk supply are not greatly a at by the unrestricted slaughter of the animal, and if there is no heartbu. lietwr cu the Hiulusan Jahornedals, I must keep quiet and give unter endenvours. It is quite clear that the teaching of islanı does not allo14g followers to wound the feelings of their non-Moslem hrethren, I mal bold in cisini thirt the Islamic theology is full of humanity and deadly against offensive spirit and that Mohammad, the most civil ani noble pro phet of the Musalmanis, is the incarnation of morality and the paragoi of virines. He was kind not only to those who embraced the faith prea chel by hiri but to all persons without ils distinction of caste or creed Cow-lang!iter or heef-eating is a part of the Mahomedan religion and if they tre done is way with, the faith shall not he affected. To all intent and purposes it is conducive to the welfare of Indi: to save the specie from zhonghtless lestruction and to let cattle-breeding flourish by the giving up of the hitbit of beef-estiny. In conclusion, I have to discharge my duty of thinking those gentlemen who have done me the favour by their kimi anni complimentary remarks through the medium of differen newspapers as well as through private letters.
