ticles have read upon him picture
him as a very wonderful individual.
In an elegantly furnished modern
house I found Abbas Effendi seated
on a sofa, waiting for me. He Is
striking figure in any garb, and
when clad in white tarboosh, or
fez, with q white cloth wound around
it, Moslem Style, and long gray outer
cloak of mohair, like motor coat,
and two white cloaks beneath 1t, no
would attract attention anywhere. He
resembles, in appearance and manner,
General Booth of the Salvation Army,
more than any other man recall. He
restless, hawk-like eye, the same silver
beard and shaggy iron gray locks. the
same transparent skin.
AS he speaks Abbas Effendi opens
wide his big gray eyes beneath his
bushy eyebrows, and looks directly at
one, giving an appearance of unsim-
ulated interest and sincerity. He Is
restless person-doubtless those 40
odd years. as a prisoner have left
their mark on his nerves-and through
out the interview he wriggled and
twisted his body, sometimes revealing
the folded red bandana handkerchief
upon which he sat; sometimes cooking
his fez to the back of his head, and
again to the side, and sometimes rak-
ishly forward until it rested on the
high bridge Of his nose. All the
while he was talking he twiddled in
his long white hands a string of moth
er-of-pearls beads, such as gentlemen
commonly carry In this part of the
world. Altogether, he looks the part
Of benevolent old gentleman with
considerable force of character.
This positiveness was shown during
the interview. A gentle-faced young
Englishman, who looked filter for ESQ.,
teric discussions than for the football
field, had been doing the interpreting,
Abbas Effendi speaking in Persian.
The most difficult form of interpreta-
tion Is that of discussion of abstract
themes, and early saw that the young
mans renderings were inadequate; my
host saw 1t, also; and peremptorily or
dered one other of his attendants to
repeat what he said, sentence by SEN
tence.

Fielder Jones, former manager Of

through his ability to seize an oppor-

chase 240 acres of land in Oregon last
year, Jones made the deal at little

What Behaism Stands For.
A definition of Behaism, which to an

l asked Abbas Effendi, frankly, to give
me a categorical definition Of the dis
tinctive doctrine of Beharism, "some-
thing with hooks to it, so that it will
grasp the ordinary man." This he pa
tiently and kindly did.
First. Behaism believes that all
men are brothers, and should so act.
Second. Behaism believes that
there should be no strife of religious
creeds. All are equal. No man need
change his religion when he becomes
a Behalst, whether he is Moslem,
Christian or Buddhist.
Third. There should be no war
between races or countries. There
should be international brotherhood
| and international peace" Incident
ally, the retainer who had done the
interpreting, later told me that Alb
bas believes that there will be great
war, and then worldwide peace. He
also advocates one language and one
form of writing.
Fourth. Behaism teaches It's follow
| ers to love everybody. In Persia there
are Jews, Moslems, Zoroastrians, Budd-
hlsts, Brahmins and Christians, who
meet in love and concord as Behaists.
1t removes fanaticism from all sects."
And / verify believe that Abbas Eff
dendi practices his creed for he is a
gentle, kindly man; who, however, has
no conception whatever of the high in
exorableness of truth. Gen. Lew Wal
lace's aphorism: Better law with
out love, than love without law" would
not appeal to him. None the less, his
high, fine ideals, embodying as they
do, the commonplaces of Christianity.
are in consonance with the spirit OF
the age, and we may expect to see Be-
haism grow and prosper, especially
among sentimental persons. It's claim
