Abstract	"The Church Missionary Intelligencer prints the journal of Rev. Mr. Stileman, who had spent a week among the Babis of Persia. This Mohammedan sect has been bitterly persecuted by other Mohammedans because it gives more honor to Christ than is common throughout the Moslem world. There is also, it seems, a sect of the Babis called the Behais, of which there are hundreds of adherents in Najifabad and many thousands in Persia. The particular doctrine of these Behais is that Jesus Christ came again to earth some fifty years ago in the person of Beha. Little is told of this man whom they follow beyond the account of his birth and of his death. He had heard the Gospels and accepted the Word of God as a true revelation, though interpreting it very singularly in some points. His followers are ready to follow the teachings of the Bible as far as they are taught them. They seem humble and sincere, and they have endured bravely a vast amount of persecution because of their faith. Hundreds have been put to death in various parts of Persia, yet not one of the Behais has abjured his faith."
