Excerpt from Life and Teachings Abbas Effendi: A Study or Me Religion or the Babis, or Beha'ls Founded by Persian Bab and by His Successors, Beha Ullah and Abbas Effendi In the first edition of this book a chapter was given to the philosophy and psychology of the religion. It was there stated that a conditional after-life only was taught - an afterlife dependent upon the good use made of present-life opportunities. This portion of the book elicited a good deal of discussion and was thought by many to be an inaccurate statement of the teachings of the faith. While much pains had been taken to reach a correct understanding of this matter, translations and retranslations having been repeatedly made, I was aware that the abstruse nature of the subject and the consequent difficulties of translation had made errors only too possible, and I accordingly availed myself of the first opportunity to revisit Syria and lay the question before Abbas Effendi - or, as he prefers to be called, Abdul Beha - himself. This I was able to do in December, 1909. just seven years after my first visit to those hospitable shores.
