took the surname Bab which Urai fies The Gate his followers called him The Gate of theTTUth The reforms he preached won great rxmnlar fav and in 1S48 the Shah father of the recently murdered ruler ordered the Bab Into his presence that he might hear from his own mouth the doctrine that he preached He heard and approved He declared that the new sect should be protected throughout Persia But be died that year and Nasr ed Din a boy of 17 years came to tbe throne The rich and powerful Persians feared the reformer and his tenets and the young Shah sided with them He was ferocious in his repression of the sect Hundreds of the Babs followers were cruelly put to death The Bab himself was taken prisoner In 1S4 and executed But the martyrs the young Shah made were the seed of the faith Bablsm grew under the bloodiest persecution Many were tortured to death One of the most conspicuous martyrs was the famous heroine of the reform Kuretr el Ayn a beautiful woman who had preached the new faith with burning zeal wherever she could get a hear lng and particularly In the harems where her sea secured admission for her without difficulty When she fell under the bap ot the Shah her life

more merciful than the Shah choked her to death with a woman veil the veil she had rejected contrary to the law and custom of her people The sect thus bloodily suppressed ceased to be an open branch of Mohammedanism and became a secret society It has spread among an classes It seems Intangible to the outer world but It is powerful and active It is no longer merely a religious sect It is a party and Into the secret folds art gathered besides many of the best among Persians the disappointed the dreamers the cranks It was one ot these cranks who In lSl attempted to kin the Shah and It was years
