The first is Abel, Adam and Gabriel: after others, comes Simon Peter, Jesus and Rozabah; Ali, Mohammed and Salman the Persian. The first of each group, for example Peter and Ali, is the supreme manifestation, the _maana_, meaning or essence of God; the second of each group, Mohammed and Jesus represent the _ism-azim_, the Greatest Name: while the third, that is, Salman is termed the Bab. Baha is the Greatest Name. The place of Peter remains for Abbas. [42] "Facts for Behaists." [43] "Ten Days in the Light of Acca," p. 105. [44] _S. W._, Nov. 23, 1913, p. 242. [45] See Chapter IV.

III Its Specific Claims Bahaism is a Persian delusion, whose headman Baha Ullah in Acre claimed to be an incarnation of God. Abbas Effendi succeeded him and is running the "incarnation" fraud for all it is worth, and it is worth a good deal, as pilgrims constantly come from Persia and bring their offerings in money with great liberality. Such men ... as the Babites of Persia turn up now and then in the East, "go up like a rocket and down like a stick."--_H. H. Jessup, "Fifty-three Tears in Syria," p. 637._
