It was crowded thla weekend with buslosds of Bahals, some from as far away as Wsshlngtoa, D.C., New York, Lo Angeles, and Chicago. The Bahal Faith has been rowing steadily in the United Statea since 183 when it was first mentioned at the World Parliament of Religion at th Columbian Eipotltlon. Currently there are adherents hi ever 1,600 localities across the nation and every county of South Carolina. The religion originated ta Persia In 1S44 and ha spread sine then to almost every country, Island and territory on the globe. Bahals believe that the Prophet-Founder, Bahu'u'Uah, ia th bearer of God's message for our age.

With His teaching on the oneness ef mankind, the equality of the aezes, universal education, and the progressive nature of religion, the Baha'la are attempting to bring unity to the peoples of the world.

The parent then goaa Into a detailed and agonizing search of his way of nurturing th child from Infancy to adulthood In order lo determine where he failed to teach the child something that would have prevented this tragedy. The question, -where did I go wrong?"

The question implies an understanding of a basic reality of human nature, but it also overlook a basic reality In human relationships. The reality affirmed by this painful question la that we need each other.
