ROOSEVELT ON
CHURCH-GOING
1. In this actual world, a church
community, a community where men
have abandoned and scoffed at or ig
nored their religious needs, is a com
munity on the rapid decline.
2. Church work and church attend
ance mean the cultivation of the habit
of feeling some responsibility for oth
ers.
3. There are enough holidays for
most of us. Sundays differ from other
holidays in the fact that there are
fifty-two of them every year. There
fore, on Sundays go to church.
4. Yes, I know all the excuses. I
know that a man can worship his Cre
ator in a grove of trees or by a run
ning brook or in a man’s house, just
as well as in the church. But I also
know as a matter of cold fact that the
average man does not thus worship.
5. He will listen to and take part
in reading some beautiful passage
from the Bible. And if he is not
familiar with the Bible, he has suffered
a loss. '
6. He will meet and speak to his
i neighbors. He will come away feel
ing more kindly to the world, even
toward those excessively foolish young
people who regard church-going as n
soft performance.
7. I advocate a man’s joining in
church work for the sake of showing
his faith by his works.

practiced. The Gospel he loved, we
use and preach at the

BAHAI CAUSE
IS EXPLAINED
BY LECTURER
(Continued from Page Two 1
forts of Abdul Baha. In 1911-12 he
visited Europe and America, speaking
in many prominent churches and be
fore different societies and gather
ing**!' It is hoped he is about to com
mence a tour of the world, to call the
people to a renewal of faith in the
reality of religion that is always one;
to the independent investigation to
truth, which requires an open, un
prejudiced mind; to the realization
that science and religion must agree,
inasmuch as both are founded upon
truth, and truth can not contradict
itself. Religion is the medium for
spiritual knowledge and science for
the truths of outer phenomena. An
other of the Bahai basic principles is
the oneness of mankind. As there is
dne Creator, his creatures must be
one. The prejudices which exist of
nationality and race are illusions,
djan-made, and not created by God.
■r *■
“Raha'o’llah says: ‘Close your eye^
to racial differences and welcome all
with the light of oneness. Be the
cause of comfort and promotion of
humanity. This handful of dust is
one home; let it be in unity. Forsake
pride; it is a cause of discord. Follow
that which tends to harmony.’
“All the great divine messengers
came to unite; therefore • religion
should unite, and when it does not it
is because it is not based on reality
but on superstitions and prejudices.
These dividing lines must be cleared
away and mankind turn to the reality
; of religion, and then he recognizes
the oneness of unity.
“A universal auxiliary language is
j another important step toward unity,
j It would be a great help to better un
| derstanding between nations in the
I matter of arbitration, and between
I peoples for their social and business
interests.
“The power of the Holy Spirit, Ab
dul Baha says, is required to accom
plish the great spiritual and social re
construction of, mind. This is the
energizing factor, and until man will
recognize the fact that material civ
ilization has no real effect' until
joined with divine civilization, he will
be - reaping the harvest of his own
seed sowing.
“This is the day ot universal en
lightenment. The teachings of Baha
’o’llah are universal, and today have
spread into every country of the
world, until there are millions follow
ing these universal ideals, and seeing
them practically demonstrated in the
unity that is being brought about be
tween Zoroastrian, Hindoo, Buddhist,
Jew, Mohammedan, Confucianist,
Christian, and all the various sects
of these religions.
“Universal peace can only come
through the realization in the hearts
of the oneness of mankind.
“The Bab was martyred, Baha’o’llah
and Abdul Baha have suffered exile,
persecutions and imprisonment, that
humanity might be awakened into a
renewed spiritual consciousness, a
knowledge, of the onesess of mankind
and that universal peace might be
realized.”

Professional Women Get Their Only
Pleasure by Associating With Men
By Miss Estelle Berline, Physical Expert
*
Our women do not walk. The rich ones won’t, and the poor ones are
too tired with work. Dancing is the only exercise. It is a passive exercise.
1 have had success in getting factory girls out on a hike. But they
won’t hike in the city in hiking clothes. They are afraid they look
ridiculous.
Most women arc afraid that, if they become athletic, they will be
unpopular with men; and if they wear exercising clothes, they will look
mannish and lose the admiration of men.
The trouble with professional women is that most of their pleasure
comes from association with men, m dancing and going to the theaters.
That makes them vain about their appearance, and then they don’t want
to wear athletic and easy clothes.
