Harold Marks, recently released
from San Quentin, took with him
100000, which he earned while a
prisoner through an invention Of his
all the result of his spare time prison
efforts. He also made the following
remark which has been widely quoted
in the papers throughout the coun-
try.
"+'+I came here as another down
and out convict; now I'm wealthy. 1t
seems like a silly dream, almost too
good to believe. San Quentin has
been my heavens"
By substituting the word useful"
for wealthy" in the above quotation
and by changing the prison from "San
Quentin" to Jackson I can accept the
above u~tterance as truthfully repres-
enting my own personal sentiment.

me the opportunity to utilize this

press myself IN the subject Of prison

Out in the city of Portland, Ore

She has been an admirer Of my writ

opened the columns of her Portland
Advocate to me in March 1890. In
all Of Mrs. Campbell's letters to me
she told Of the wonders of Baha'U'-
Llah, who in 1892 died in prison, just
a few months before / was born
These letters, plus newspaper accounts
CLEANED from all over the country
particularly concerning the national
Temple at Wilmette, Illinois, created
within me the longing to study ten.

This volume, "Baha'ULlah and the
Ne wEra", is the first that 1 have
read or studied on the subject. It is
sufficient to convince me, one who
Is Dotn handicapped by a dark Skin
and a prison sentence, that the teach.
ings Of BahaULlah, especially as liv.

followers, are uniquely pertinent anc
capable of transforming this world Of
human bitterness and difference int,
one human international family.
The subject is entirely too exhaust,
I've for ms to attempt an analysis il
this space. My present mission il
merely to attract the attention of on
thinkers to an ism that knows no col
or line, racial or national preiudices
caters not to class, wealth or posi-
ton but is founded and administers,
wholly on the principle Of n hu

excellent time for our readers to ac
