I BAHAI CAUSE
IS EXPLAINED
BY LECTURER
At an informal meeting at the home
of Mrs. Harwood on Tuesday evening
Mrs. H. E. Hoagg explained more in
detail the history and teachings of
the Bahai cause. Her audience was
most appreciative. Following was in
part what she gave:
"Baha’o’llah says: ‘In this day he
who seeks the light of the Sun of
Truth must free his mind from the
tales of the past, must adorn his head
with the crown of severance, and his
temple (body) with the robe of vir
tue. Then shall he arrive at the ocean
of Oneness and enter the pavilion of
singleness. The heart must become
free from the fire of superstition, that
it may receive the light of assurance,
and that it may perceive the Glory of
God.’
» "The Bahai cause had its rise in
Persia in 1844, when M. Ali Moham
med, who called himself the Bab,
meaning ‘door,’ or ‘gate,’ heralded the
dawn of the new age of universal
lxrotherhood and universal peace. He
proclaimed himself the ‘door 'to the
knowledge of one whom he called
Baha’o’llah, meaning the ‘Glory of
God,' who would arise for the consum
mation of this unity of mankind.
“The Bab's message was too broad
and progressive for his contempo
raries. His condemnation of the op
pression of the people and the reli
gious superstitions and prejudices bj
which they wre governed aroused the
ire of the mullahs, and they restei
not until he was martyred, in 1860,
after an imprisonment of four years.
“Mirza Husein Ali, called Baha
’o’llah, was a man of distinguished
lineage. After imprisonment and per
secution, he, with his family and fol
lowers, was exiled, first to Bagdad,
then to Constantinople and Adrian
ople, and finally, in 1868, to the Turk
ish penal colony of Akka, situated nine
miles north of Mount Carmel, on the
Mediterranean coast. From this ,
prison city Baha’o’llah made the pub
lic proclamation to the world of his
mission, through letters sent to the
reigning heads of the governments.
“In this prison he wrote most of his
books, giving the universal precepts
and teachings which are attracting
more and more the minds and hearts
of the people. As truth is always one,
we find in the spiritual teachings of
Baha’o’llah the same basic truths as
are the fundamentals of all religions,
but amplified according to the pres
ent receptive status of man. The prac
tical teachings are adapted to the age,
and the requirements of the present
social and economic conditions.
“Baha'o’llah died in Acca in 1982.
In his will and testament appointing
his son, Abdul Baha Abbas, as the in
terpreter of his words, and the one
to whom the Bahai world should look
for guidance.
“Abdul Baha has shared the exile
and persecutions of Baha’o’llah, and
was a prisoner in Akka until 1908,
when he was freed by the Young
Turks going into power. Through a
life of sacrifice, suffering and service
he is a living example of the divine
love that passeth understanding and
can only be gained by self-effacement
and service to mankind.
"The Bahai message, its teachings
and principles have been spread
through the Occident, and to a greater
extent in the Orient, through the ef
