The International Psychic Gazette (London) 3, 367Abstract: "But both Thomas Lake Harris and Abdul Baha, the central leader of the Bahai Movement , have disappointed me; Harris, by suppressing the best nature In his following, and Abdul Baha by excommunicating and denouncing as 'Violators of the Covenant.' several of the most able and spiritually-advanced souls in his movement denouncing them behind their backs without explanation or option of self-defence, and forbidding the 'Friends' to meet or associate with these proscribed ones. Surely the glory and pride of the real teacher is in the attainments and brilliancy of his pupils, and with him there can be no suspicion of fear."
