*' When God opened this heavenly school, His first lesson was that of love. To-day In that school the chief teacher Is our blessed ETHICS AND CONDUCT 133 Master. He sees the Moslem, the Christian, and the Beha'i, all with one eye — He is equally kind to all. He educates us to be like Him. We have been in this school for nearly sixty years, but we have not yet finished the first lesson that we may go on to the second. " It follows from this law of love and brother- hood that evil should not be m...et with evil, but with good ; that is, there should be no resent- ment or retaliation — the injury is to be for- given and forgotten. Commenting upon this subject. Abbas Effendi says : '' The reference of the words of the Old Testament ' an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ' is double : it refers, first, to the bal- ance which Is preserved by human law, that there may be a check to evil-doing ; and, sec- ond, to the inevitable retribution which will fall upon each individual during his life, or upon the race after his death, for his evil acts.
