and no less remarkable than numer-
ically successful religion which, since
1898, has thrown its occult enlghten-
ment into many corners of Dark
America and Darker New York-a re-
ligion which within forty years has
illumined for 100000 human beings
the path which leads to Acre and to
Him Who Lives There. Acre is a Syr-
ian seaport sixty miles from Beirut.
BY the Babists it is pronounced and
written Aka.
Those who have seen and absorbed
the teachings of Abbas Effendi believe
that just as Mohammed lived and died
to save and sanctify all Mussulmans,
and just as the Christ suffered the
crucifixion in order to accomplish the
same Christian purpose, the Master
at Acre will unite true believers of
every race and religion under both the
cross and crescent. In other words,
they believe Babism is the evolution
of all religions of the past and as such
is designed to carry on the torch OF
moral, physical and spiritual civiliza-
ton.
This is the story of the extraordi-
nary One at Acre as CLEANED from sew

bar, in a recent written account of
his pilgrimage to Acre entertainingly
describes the Master as follows:
Imagine that we are in the ancient
house of the still more ancient city of
Aka, which was for month my
home The room in which we are
faces the opposite wall of a narrow
paved street, which an active man
might clear at a single bound. Above
is the bright sun of Palestine; to the
right a glimpse of the old sea wall
and the blue Mediterranean. AS we
sit we hear a singular sound arising
from the pavement thirty feet below
faint at first and increasing. 1t re-
semb1es a murmur of human voices.
We open the window and look down.
We see crowd of human beings with
patched and tattered garments. Let
us descend to the street and see who
these are.
1T is a noteworthy gathering. Many
of these men are blind, many more
are pale, emaciated, or aged. Some
are on crutches. Some are so feeble
that they can barely walk.
These people are ranged against
the walls or seated on the ground, ap-
parent1y in an attitude of expectation.
For what do they want? Let us wait
with them
I'VE have not to wait long. A door
opens and a man comes out. He is of
medium stature, strongly built. He
wears flowing, light-colored robes. On
his head is a light buff fez with a
white cloth wound about it. He is
perhaps sixty years of age His long
gray hair rests on his shoulders His
forehead is broad, full and high, his
nose slightly aquiline, his moustaches

New Religious Propaganda That Is
Making Much Roadway in America

Residents near Broadway and Fifty
eighth street have for some time past
been attracted each Sabbath morning
by a Kaleidoscope procession of many
compilations and persuasions vending
toward a demure brown-stone building
at 226 West Fifty-eighth Street, which
is down on the city map as Genealog-
ical hall. This weekly procession has
nothing to do with the Scribes and
Pharisees. Nor is it a Sunday morn
ing gathering of Shakespearean phil
osophers searching for sermons in
stones and books in babbling brooks.
None of these was represented in the
pilgrimage to the demure brownstone
house a Sababth ago.
They were devout pioneers of a new

Go not understand them, but we see
the benignity and kindness of his
countenance. He stations himself at
narrow angle of the street and mo-

him. They crowd up a little too in

back and lets them pass him by one

hands extended. In each open palm
