manifestation of the Son of God direct Instrument on earth of the Divine Intelligence as bis followers declare him to be possesses an influence over the lives of his followers only comparable to that displayed by the great prophets of the race for vWhom men died that they might justify their faith Mohammed or Buddha had no more complete sovereignty over the minds and bodies of those that accepted their teachings than has Abbas Effendi the Abdul Baha or son of the Supreme One Thousands have chosen death rather thart deny his name and hiave died uttering his name even as did the Christian martyrs while whispering the sacred naqe of the Founder of their religion The Bahaist of whose religion Abbas Is the head He is unquestioningly accepted as the reflection of God on earth a being that is man yet more than man to touch whose robe is a consecration to be blessed by whom a promise of Paradise Such is the leader of the Bahaist orj Bablsfi eligion whose following includes six million persons and whose purposes are towards the unification of all religionsreligions toward a brotherhood arpoijg the natfonsy the abolition of wars and the adoptfon Xtfi a universal language all of whiQh is ln detail provided for On the Ivitatfl Akdasr or book 6f laws and wks st forth in 1S70 by Abdul Batikl father of the present prophet Bahaism as the religion Is now called though Babism was formerly its name originated in Persia in 1844 Then Arose the first of the three prophets of the religion one AH Mohammed who in Shh az calleif himself the Bab an Arabic word signifying dobr apd announced himself as preparing for the promised one People crowded to his call and thousands reverently listened to him So deep Was the impression he made that the urjrest of the people alarmed the Turkish authorities He was persecuted for a time then charged with heresy and put to death an act whieh only Te suited in creating in his followers a more intense faith Then followed butchery and floods of energizing blood from which religions grow Ten thousand Babists werej sacrificed within a few years because they refused iorecant their belief in the coming of a dfvinity who was to fuse Christiariity Buddhism Mohammedanism and all the religions of the earth Then the followers fled to Bagdad in the domains of the Sultan of Turkey were later translated to Adria nople and last to Akka in Syria Its Simple Tenets In the meantime however a greater prophet than the Bab had arisen Mirza Haseyp AH was 35 years of age He was renowned for his wisdom He had passed two years In the mountains where he had given himself to preparation and meditation The Bab had con ferred upon him the title of Cllah Glory of God The new prophet declared that be was the manifestation of Godon earth the prophet whose coming the Babnad foretold He it was who was called the lawgiver and wrote the Book of Iaws Second in veneration only to tbeBaha Oollah which name be rwept byi is his son Abbas Effendi or third of the three prophets of the Bahaist religion And the third prophet it Is whose first visit to this country willl uldbeVrJvefsarjinlfierTfieyJ main be made soon tain that tBahaismcanS actually Such briefly is the history of the Ba haist religion and of its prophets Its tenets of belief are simple and veryclear There ig but one God of whom the great prophets of the raceihaye been so many manifestations io many lanlps reflecting the light of the J3iylneSpiritJ JFor this reason the Bahaiijtssay thesdul ofall religions is the sanjeand the difference in ine appeal oi auinprupneiB wmy accounted for by the difference In time and the character of their followers Thus Moses had ift Jewish worlcl to which to make appeal Buddha was qualified to teach thQ lesson of the divineo the Indian people Christ fetched the barbarians of Europe but in the lasi resort all learned from the sameMaster and the structure of all belief is morality and love Now however the Bahaists say newer countries have been discovered arid science has linked them by invention The wSrld Is ready for a newer prophet with an appeal not to a nation but to a world The time has arrived when all religions can be accepted and unified upon the basic beliefs mentioned And the Bahaists believe that Abbas Effendi who so soon will visit us himself a prophet and the son of one has been divinely inspired for the work Years before bis birth his coming was predicted on the day on which he was born They hold that all the religions foretold the coming of the millennium pr time of universal peace In the religion of Zoroaster was predicted the reign of happy times The prophecy of the swords being beaten Into plowshares is the Christian manifestation of the Idea Basic Foundation Is Universal Love For this reason the Bahaists assert that it is nojt incompatible with either prophecy or reason that their religion strengthen gpeoplinj thetr owns faith reflectiorTbf theSuprenie Thiyvcontend that their rejlgion is completer

they can barely walk Most of the women are closely veiled but enough are uncovered to cause us well to believe that if the veils were lifted more pain andmlsery would be seen Some of them carry babes
