As to Abbas Effendi, during the first brief period only he was restricted to the barracks. He was even temporarily put in chains in the dungeon[449] when accused of participation in the assassination of the Azalis. After that, for a period of _thirty years_, "he was permitted to go about at his pleasure, beyond the walls of Acca."[450] He built a fine residence[451] at Haifa, which I have seen. He journeyed to Tiberias and as far as Beirut. Only after his quarrel with his brothers and on their accusation was he ordered back to Acca, and even then he had the freedom of the city (1905).[452] Such are the facts about Abbas Effendi, whom Canon Wilberforce introduced in his church as "for forty years _a prisoner for_ the cause of _brotherhood and love_." In truth it was the quarrelling of the brothers, Azal and Baha, that led to the banishment from Adrianople to Acca, the murder of Azalis by Bahais increased its severity, the bitter hatred of the younger generation against each other brought back the restraint. 4. Another immoral practice of Bahais is _tagiya_ or _ketman_, religious dissimulation. This is taught and practiced by Shiah Moslems,[453] and it is continued with all its offensiveness against good morals by Bahais. In it concealment, denial or misrepresentation by word or act is allowed for self-protection or for the good of the faith. It was formally permitted by Baha Ullah. In accordance with this practice Abdul Baha and his followers at Acca keep the Fast of Ramazan[454] in addition to the Bahai Fast at Noruz. Dr. H. H. Jessup[455] wrote, "He is now acting what seems to be a double part--a Moslem in the Mosque, and a Christ in his own house. He prays with the Moslems, 'there is no God but God,' and expounds the Gospels as the incarnate Son of God." Mirza Abul Fazl, a Bahai missionary, lately died in Egypt. At his public funeral[456] the Moslem _taziah_, with reading of the Koran, was held, though he was a strenuous worker for the abrogation of Islam. Most Bahais in Persia live in habitual _tagiya_. Fear of persecution is some palliation for this, but it is a great defect. Very far from the truth is the statement of Lord Curzon[457] that "No Babi (or Bahai) has ever recanted under pressure." Mr. Nicolas,[458] the French Consul at Tabriz, shows from the Bab's own writings that he himself denied his Manifestation at his examination at Shiraz and signed a recantation. At the execution[459] of the Bab in Tabriz (1850) two of his intimate disciples denied the faith. The explanation of the fact is remarkable and instructive. They were enjoined to do so by the Bab in order that they might convey certain documents to a safe place. In other words, they were to lie for the faith, by divine injunction. In another notable instance,[460] seven Babis stood firm and were executed at Teheran, while thirty recanted, being told by their leader to judge whether they were justified by family ties, etc., in renouncing the faith. "They
