Notes Bahá'í Faith: p. 139. "At the present day the head of the great Persian sect of the Babites, Abbas Effendi by name, resides at Acre in Syria, and is held by Frenchmen, Russians, and Americans, especially by rich American ladies, to be an incarnation of God himself. The late Professor S. I. Curtiss of Chicago had the honour of dining with 'the Master,' as he is invariably called by his disciples, and the deity expressed a kindly hope that he might have the pleasure of drinking tea with the professor in the kingdom of heaven."
This passage is nearly identical to that which first appeared in Frazer's "Golden Bough" 3rd ed. Vol.1, 1911.
