THRILL NYU-NeW York University sum-
mer students placed an unequiVocal stamp of
approval on Dick Campbells inter-cultural
One World Ensemble when the vocal group APP
peared in a morning musical under the aus-
pices of the NYU Work Shop on Human Re-
lations. The interracial, interfaith quintette,
composed of Japanese soprano, Hldeko 1o-
shine, Negro tenor, Napoleon Reed, Scotch
Irish contralto, Elizabeth D%unning, English
Basso, Burton Cornwall, and Vienese Jew, Ru-
dolf Sahaar, accompanist, literally had its list
eners screaming for more at the conclusion OF
a program that included opera, concert, spirit
uals and folk-songs, with a few pop tunes
thrown in for good measure. The audience,
which was made to order for the Ensemble,
because of its interracial, International COM
position, deluged the singers after the concert
for autographs. Invitations were also extended
the group to appear in concert in the various
home towns of the listeners. DR.. II. II. Giles,

% of these establishments, HICKS
said today at his headquarters,
2O9 Post Office Building, North
Little Rock.
Despite reports of high wages,
some Arkansas firms were found
to be paying employees less than
SIG for a 40-hour week. Hicks
said. The Federal wage and hour
law sets a minimum of 40 cents
an hour for employees engaged
in interstate commerce, in the
production of goods for interstate
commerce, or performing work
necessary for the production OF
goods that move in interstate
commerce.
The act also requires payment
Of at least time and a half for all
hours worked in excess OF ~ IN
n workweek. Employers IN
Arkansas during the year agreed
to pay $37,7l2 as back wages to
employees for unpaid overtime
and minimum wage violations.
The Walsh-Healey Act, which
alpiies to firms supplying goods
CT materials to the Government
on contracts exceeding $4,000, al
so contains minimum wage and
overtime sections. Both acts pro-
hibit the employment of child
labor"
The majority of minimum wage
violations in Arkansas, he said,
were found among maintenance
and office employees.

Thirty-six years ago, this month,
Abdu'l-Baha Cthe Great World
Teacher gave a talk at Green
Acre, Eliot, Maine, a portion Of
which follows:
From the beginning of human
history down to the present time
the world of humanity has not
enjoyed a day Of absolute rest
and relaxation from conflict and
strife. Most of the wars have been
caused by religious prejudice,
fanaticism and sectarian hatred
Religionists have authenticated re-
ligionistS, each considering the
other as deprived of the mercy of
God, abiding in gross darkness
and the children of satan, For "
ample, the Christians and Moham-
medans considered the Jews sa-
tnnic and the enemies of God
Therefore they cursed and perse-
cuted them. Great numbers Of
Jews were killed. their homes
burned and pillaged, their child
rem carried into captivity. The
Jews in turn regarded the Chris
tians as infidels and the Moham-
madans, as enemies and destroy
ers of the law of Moses Therefore
they called down vengence upon
them and curse them even 10 this
day
When the light of Baha'uliah
dawned from the east, he pro-
claimed the promise of the one
ness of humanity He addressed
all mankind, saying; TYe r all
the fruits of one tree. There are
not two trees. one a tree Of
divine mercy, the other the tree
Of satan. This was his announce
ment; this was his promise Of the
oneness of the world Of humanity
There are no people Of satan,
all belong to the Merciful There
is no darkness; all is light All are
the servants OF God, and man
must love humanity from his
heart. He must verify behold hut
mainly as submerged in the di-
vine mercy
Bahauliah has made no eNccp-
ton to this rule He said that
among mankind tiefe may be
those who are ign5ttnt, neg
must be trained Some are sick.
they must be- treated Some are
immature. they must be- helped
TO at,ain maturity. In c.fgr Poe

the ocean of divine mercy, God
is the father of all. He edueates,
provides for and loves all, for
they are his servants and his ere
alton. Surely the creator loves his
creatures. It would be immpossi-
BILE to find an artist who does not
love his own production s.....
We must strive day and night
that love and amity may increase,
that this bond may be strengthen
ed. that JOY and happiness may
more and more prevail, that in
unity and solidarity all mankind
may gather beneath the shadow
of God, that people may turn to
God for their sustenance, finding
in Him the life that is everlast-
ing. Thus may they be confirmed
in the kingdom of God and live
forever through His grace and
bounty" Abdul BAHIA.

Unable 10 comprehend Gods
