Article NO. 4
Almost as soon as the Bah pro-
claimed His mission as the fore
runner Of a new spiritual dispen-
aticn on earth, a young man of Ii
bran, a member of one of the nobl-
est and wealthiest families in Per-
STA who later became known as
BAHIA u'llah, announced his belief
in the new Faith. Subjected to
numbsrless indignities and tortur-
es deprived of all his estates and
money, imprisoned and finally ex-
ibed. he remained steadfast in his
adherence to the new Cause.
Shortly after the martyrdom of
the Bah this young man became
the recognized leader of the Babis,
as they we've then known, and
when the time vas ripe he openly
declared himself to be One whom
God would make manifest the one
whom the Bah had foretold.
After this time he was known
to the Babis as BAHIA ullah, which
means Glory of God. From this
time on the Babis were known as
Baha'is orfollowers of light and
glory.
BAHIA u'llah spent forty years of
His life in exile and Imprisonment
because He dared to advocate the
principles of world peace and the
brotherhood of man, declaring that
these must come to pass on this
earth as actual facts and not mere
idealistic dreams. He wrote. in
1868, to the kings and rulers of
earth, urging them to establish a
universal tribunal which would
keep the peace of the world intact
and stated very emphatieally that
any government q. string to go to
war should be promptly ~boycotted
by every other country and even
destroyed if necessary, because
that would undoubtedly result in
the formation of a new and more
just more peace-lcving government
in the place of the one destroyed.
Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah
is the One who was promised in
the latter days and that His mis-
sion on earth was chiefly to pro-
mote peace and brotherhood among
al mankind. He was the first to
prmulgate the principles of world
wide, lasting peace among all ma
equality between men and
women. and all of the other prin-
contained in the Baha'i
which men and women of
the western world take so much
for granted today. +
Having spent more than half of
His life in prison, He passed from
this world on May 20, 1892. Before
this event he had made a will and
Testament appointing his eldest
son, 'Abdul-Baha as the Center
Of His COvenant-tha Ono fo uvbor,
Bahia is should turn; the author
led expounder and exemplar of
His teachings and Center of the
Baha'i Faith.
The next article will deal briefly
with the life and teachings of
'Abdul-Baha. the Servant of God.

METROPOLITAN CHURCH
Rev. II. w. Johnson, Pastor
Mrs. NJ. Cason, Reported

Behold! How good and how
pleasant it is for broshern to dwell
together in unity.
Sunday was another great day
for us. Sunday school at its usual
time found a set of smiling child
ren, all in eagerness to learn more
about Christ. Their lesson for this
Sunday was taken from some pam
phlets. Subject, God is Righteous
The lesson was very encouraging
and a explained by teachers
and children.
Morning service was good as us
uai. Sermon by the pastor was a
continued part of his serial. Gen.
18th chapter. Subject "The Dark
est Hour of Life Some people
think that when they are alone,
down in sorrow, and their friends
have turned against them. that
that is the darkest hour, others
think that when they haven't food,
fuel or a home that that is their
darkest hour. But the darkest hour
is when the end is near. when fri
ends nor anything else can bring
us back tc life. Jesus S the light
Of the world, and when the darkest
hour comes, He is the only
one who can comfort US. The
sermon was preached very plain
and well.
Union started at 6 o'clock and
the Bible classes are very uplifting
and good food for thought. The les
son, taken from st. Matt. 9th
HAPPIER was very well taught and
explained. The program by the
children was very good.
Come ito Union and learn more
about the Bible and encourage one
another in their program,
Devotional is very strengthening
to the night service. Come out
early and sing and prayer, so that
everyone will be in tune for the
evening service. The evening SER
vice was good. Songs were sung
ty the choir. The evening sermon
by the pastor was another part
of his serial. Gen. 28th chapter and
18th verse. Subject, II Will Net
Leave Thee Some people put
much faith in worldly things and
their friends. Friends are all right
when things r going well with
You and when you will let them
use you as a convenience, but when
conditions change there are very
few who will stand by you. Your
relations are all right but they will
turn their backs on you in the
time of trouble. Jesus said. 81 am
a friend, that will stand closer
than a brother to you. l will not
leave thee even unto the end of
the world So it pays to serve
Jesus. After the sermon We were
favored with a song, Somebody
Touched Me-
Sung and played by Sis. Austin,
who is an accompanist for Sis.
Goir the evangelist. She also gave
a short talk, letting the church

When the excellent road build
ing program of Cuba he initiated
was praised, Colonel Batista
similingly thanked the reporter
and stated that more roads would
probably be built into the in
terror of Cuba to serve rural dis

A rural program is a strong
point in Cuba's present policy.

efficient tuberculosis hospital

Collantes and but IS kilometers

accommodate 300 more.
Another important work being
done in Cuba is Strengthening of
the rural schools with love of the
soil and its productive agricul-
ture, in which Cuba is naturally
rich, instilled in the youth. There
also special sanitary precautions
are taken with complete instruc-
ton in the prevention and atten-
ton to the prevalent diseases.
In domestic science, dairying and
other forms of herd care are
taught.
Cuba is a very rich, young
