Admonish the Friends so they will not backbite and
criticize, voicing the mistakes and sins of others. Have a sin covering-eye. As
soon as you see a trace of the Love of Baha’u’llah in a soul, revere that soul
under all conditions.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, June 11, 1912, 309 West 78
Street, New York City Star of the West, vol. 4, no. 2, April 9, 1913)
