LESSONS IN RELIGION
The thin" which makes man
kind unique in the entire universe
of God is the ability to think and
reason. Science, which is the out
come of this, allows Man to dis
cover the realities of things; the
laws of nature which govern the
universe. These laws are very use
ful in that they allow man to con
trol nature and not the other way
around. God created the universe,
so the laws of nature are God’s
laws. The laws of nature are uni
versal, they do not conflict with
one another.
There are laws in religion as
well as in science. They also are
God’s laws. Baha’u’llah says that
knowledge of these laws comes to
us through Divine Revelation as
taught by the Manifestations of
God, His Holy Prophets. Science
and true religion are two parts of
divine truth. They cannot dis
agree. Man’s progress depend on
both.
When religion is freed of super
stition, tradition and church doc
trines and the growth of one uni
versal religion is recognized in
partnership with science; then this
great unifying force will sweep
before it all wars, racial prejudice,
national and economic disagree
ments and struggles, and mankind
will be united in the power of
the love of God. This is a teach
ing in the Baha’i World Faith.

Would Legislate Against
Foreign Ships Interfering
With American Vessels
WASHINGTON UPl — A bill to
prohibit the importation of fish
and byproducts from countries that
seize or interfere with American
vessels in international waters was
introduced in Congress yesterday
by Rep. Thomas Pelly, (R-Wn.).
Pelley told the House the meas
ure was intended as retaliation for
the Ecuadorian seizure of United
States fishing boats. He said he
had in mind the seizure last May
of the Ranger and White Star by
Ecuadorian authorities and fines
placed against the vessels and
their captains.
“The Ecquadorian law,” Pelley
told the House, “has arbitrarily set
a territorial sea of 200 miles from
the Ecuadorian coast, whereas, as
is known, the international law
has been three miles. In effect
these fines represent international
blackmail.”
JAVA, Va. iJP — The Shockee

fire axes whacked away at the
tar. After a lecture from police,
