HONGKONG MUSSALMANS, EXPRESSIONS OF LOYALTY TO KING AND GOVERNMENT.
A meeting of Hongkong Mussalmans was held after the Rangan Feast Prayer on the 13th inst. Mr. A. F. Argulli presided, and the procteding: wera opened by the Chairman reading out and Translating a Manifesto regarding the grees war from the Ulemas of Egypt to the audience. After ementing on 'it, be quoted texts from the sacred Kotan explaining to the audience that an taught them to be loyal and to avoid sedition and treachery. He also referred to the protection and privileges, they enjoyed under British Rule, and gueted the Declaration of His Majesty's Crown- ment that the Moslem Holy Places would not be invaded, and also that the choice of a Caliph would be left entirely to the Musalmans: comparing the fredom enjoyed by them in the exercise of their religion with that enjoyed in certain Nativa States noder Hindi tule, and stating that they could not have any reason to be dissatisfied with their rulers. Their religious beliefs were not attacked in any way, there was no case for them to sacrifice themselves at the instigation of the chemica of their King, and the pro- clamation of Jehad by the Sultan, of Turkey, should not and could cot affect them. They were British subjects, and they were neither treated unjustly, nor were their religious privileges curtailed in any way. The speaker mentioned the tao.ful and statesmanlike net of His Excellency the Governor in withholding his sanction to allow a certain Misionary to lecture about the prophecy of the fall of Constantinople, and went on to say that be considered that it was the duty of every Moslem British subject to act in word and deed as a humble but loral and worthy follower of His Imperial Majesty the Kaiser-i-Hind, George V.; and be sincerely hoped the in spite of the misrepresentation by certain individuals of the advice he tendered to his co-religionists in November last, which was now borne out by the Man festo just read, they would give the heartiest support to the Resolution he was about to propose. This was as follows;— Tha al Muslim British subjects, Hongkong born or otherwise, hereby testify their allegiance to His Majesty King George V.. act and ecaduct them- sives as loyal subjects, paying a dua mgarden the Laws of the Realm, and detesting and abhorring all and every seditious or treacherous not; and con- sider all who commit such gets as not only enemies of the Government, but elso as eremies of theirs."
The Resolution was seconded by Mr. A B. Suffied, who emphatically endorsed every word uttered by the Chairman as to their duty towards the Government, and stated that he spoke ny only for him- self but for the Hongkong bra Muslims. Messrs. Muhammed Akbar. M. A. Razack. Sirdar Khan and Jemedar Chiragh Din strongly supported the res>- lution, and stid that they spoke for the Punjab's and other Musselmans born.in India, the Malays, the Pathans and the Mussalmany of the Hongkong Police Force repretively.
The vote was put and earried with enthusiasm. and the meeting won closed with three chers being given for His Majesty the King and also cheers for Ha Excellency the Governor, which were giren ck the call of the Chairman.
