Baha'ii World
Traueler Stresses
Spiritual Unity =.

Speaking to audiences in Phoe-
nix, Sunnyslope and Tucson, Mr..
Curtis Kelsey, Baha'i visitor from
Teaneck, New Jersey, affirms that
science has proven that world un-
ity is a fact by demonstrating that
there is only one race, the human
race. World unity in the physical
realm is reality today because of
modern scientific invention which
has made the world one, by the in
terchange of ideas through news
papers, radio, and rapid travel and
communication"
He emphasizes, however, "that
spiritual unity is greater than ply
sical unity because through the
breath Of the Holy Spirit the body
of mankind is animated. It is this
spirit which inspired the early
martyrs of Christianity to lay down
their lives for Christ and the estab-
lishment of his Teachings. Within
the last seventy years, a similar
experience occurred in Persia,
where more than 10000 early fol-
lowers of the Baha'i Faith laid
down their lives that the world
might again find spiritual guild
ance. The cause of this spiritual
unity is the Word of God as given
by His Prophets who appear to
guide humanity in its times OF
greatest need"
On his third visit to Arizona, Mr..
Kelsey is accompanied by his two
daughters, Misses Carol and Mary
Louise. Mary Louise has come es-
| pecially to assist in the establish
ment of a Baha'i Assembly in Tue
son.
Mr.. Kelsey is president of the
Continental Pipe Manufacturing
CON-, of New York City, but spends
a great deal of his time giving
public lectures about the Teach
ings of the Baha'i Faith because OF
"their influence and Importance to
all thoughtful groups and individ-
uals who are today looking for a
solution to the many ills afflicting
humanity, one of the most impor-
tant of which is to bring about
federation of the worlds peoples D
'T am very happy to know that
The Arizona Sum is doing so much
to create a better understanding OF
the problems of the Negro people
of this country. It's efforts are i'm
portant to resist those forces which
seek to tear America apart by try
ing to divide the various minority
groups which are essential to oul
united democracy"
