notes	Bahá'í Faith: p. 329. "The first session, on Tuesday afternoon, was devoted to the business of the Society and to the address of the president, Prof. George F. Moore, of Harvard University on 'Babism and Bahaism.' Professor Moore defined Bahaism as 'the latest offshoot of the banyan tree of Mohammedan hersies'; but in order to understand this movement, which, curiously enough, is spreading to some extent even in this country as well as in European centres, it is necessary to go back to Babism..." Following, a brief and biased history of the Babi and Bahá'í Faiths, then: "As for the teachings of this heretical sect, Professor Moore characterized them as embodying many lofty and broad humanitarian ideas expressed in formulas that conveyed platitudes rather than profound truths; but mixed with these humanitarian teachings -- which emphasize the brotherhood of man, the equality of all before the law, universal peace, the separation of religion from politics, and the education of women -- there was a mystic conception of divine government which lost itself in nebulous speculations."
