RELIGIOUS CULT MAY SPREAD
Babism Freed From Persecution
Through the Downfall of the Turk
ish Power in Palestine.

With the breaking of the Turkish
power in Palestine another religious
cult has been liberated from persecu-
ton, that of Bahaism, or Babism. The
leader of this spiritual movement is
Abdul Bahia. or Abbas Effendi, as he is
generally known. This religion was
first founded by Baha'o'llah, the ia
Their of the present leader, and ne
chose his son to preach its doctrines
before the world. Due to the antagon-
ism of the movement to the Islam re-
ligion. Abdul BAHIA was imprisoned
by the sultan of Turkey, who feared
his teachings, and was kept a prisoner
in the fortress of Aka, near Haifa,
for 40 years. Upon his release in 1908,
when a mild constitutional form of
government was established in Tur-
kew, BAHIA travelled through France
and England preaching his doctrines,
also coming to the United States, in
1912.
Abdul BAHIA strove to be called the
servant of humanity" While in the
Orient he won many friends by caring
for the sick and oppressed, and among
the many titles given him by his neigh
bors was one especially applied to him,
namely Father of the Poor" While
in this country he established colonies
of supporters of his teachings in Chi
cago and Kenosha, Wis. His teach
ings have a close relation with those
of Christianity and Judaism.

After supper he got out his boxing
gloves and gave me lesson in the art
of self-defense, in which, 1 was soon
to learn, he was highly accomplished,
for we had a few rounds together
every day after that. He keenly en-
