TO THE MOOSUL. 395
if I valued harmony in my household: this I
have now secured by my acquiescence in the
simple desire of my wife. Should any evil ac-
cident befall my daughter or her husband, I am
spared the reproaches that would have been
heaped upon me, as being the cause of the evil,
from my refusal to tie the naarah to the moosul.
The mere compliance with this absurd custom,
to secure peace and harmony, does not alter my
faith; I have saved others from greater offences,
by my passive obedience to the wishes of my
wife, who ignorantly places dependance on the
act, as necessary to her daughter's welfare.'
•' The students were satisfied with his expla-
nation, and their voKr-=-'- -— im!rolia*:a lof xne
good man who had thus taught them to see
and to cherish the means of living peaceably
with all mankind, whenever their actions do not
tend to injure their religious faith, or infringe
on the principles of morality and virtue."
