based upon belief In the fatherhood Of
God and the brotherhood of man. It
holds that all Of the religious teachings
which have been the cause Of the spirit
ual and material uplift Of mankind were
Of divine origin. and that we are now
living In an age or cycle when, for the
first time. union between all Of the re-
igious systems IL feasible. Upon re-
hgious unity are. predicated universal

Originating in Persia in 1874, the Bahai
movement now claims the greater mart
Of the population Of that country as its
adhsrenta and has followers through.
