EULOGIUM ON THE MASTER

The gentle spirit of the Bab is surely high up in the cycles of
eternity. Who can fail, as Prof. Browne says, to be attracted by him?
'His sorrowful and persecuted life; his purity of conduct and youth;
his courage and uncomplaining patience under misfortune; his complete
self-negation; the dim ideal of a better state of things which can be
discerned through the obscure mystic utterances of the Bayan; but
most of all his tragic death, all serve to enlist our sympathies on
behalf of the young prophet of Shiraz.'

'Il sentait le besoin d'une reforme profonde a introduire dans les
moeurs publiques.... Il s'est sacrifie pour l'humanite; pour elle il
a donne son corps et son ame, pour elle il a subi les privations,
les affronts, les injures, la torture et le martyre.' (Mons. Nicolas.)

_In an old Persian song, applied to the Bab by his followers, it is
written_:--

In what sect is this lawful? In what religion is this lawful?
That they should kill a charmer of hearts! Why art thou a stealer of
hearts?
