Day of God. This dawn illumi-
mes all who have lived on the face
of the earth, whether they are in
the body or out of the body, but
those who are spiritually blind
cannot perceive it. The Day of Re-
surrection is not a day of twenty
four hours, but an era which has
now begun and will last as long
as the present world-cycle con-
tinuesIl will continue when all
traces of the present civilization
will have been wiped off the sur
face of the globe Baha'u'llah and

The Day of The
Resurrection

The Day of judgement is also
the Day of Resurrection, of the
raising of the dead. st, Paul in his
First Epistle to the Corinthians
says;-- J.
Behold l show you a mystery;
we shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump, for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shah be rails
ed incorruptible, and we shall be
be changed For this corruptible
must put on interruption, and
this mortality must put on immor-
tality."--l Cor. v, 51-54,
AS to the meaning of these pass
ages about the raising of the dead.
BAHIA llah writes in the Book of
Iqan:--
-. BY the terms life and death,
spoken of in the Scriptures, is
intended the life of faith and the
death of unbelief. The generality
of the people, owing to their fail
ure to grasp the meaning of these
words, rejected and despised the
person of the Manifestation, de-
prived themselves of the light of
His divine guidance, and refused
to follow the example Of that i'm
mortal Beauty.
Even as Jesus said: 'Ye must
be born again (John iii, ID. again
He saith: Except man be born
of water and Spirit, he cannot
enter into the Kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh
is flesh; and that which is born of
the Spirit is Spirit (John iii, SD.
The purport Of these words is that
whatsoever in every dispensation
is born Of the Spirit and is quick
ened by the breath of the Mani
festation of Holiness, he verify is
of those that have attained unto
life and resurrection and have
entered into the paradise of the
love of God, And whoever is
not of them is condemned to
death and deprivation, to the
fire of unbelief, and to the
wrath of God
In every age and century, the
purpose of the Prophets of God
and their chosen ones hath been
no other but to affirm the spiritu-
al significance of the terms life
it is evident that death must needs
overtake it"
According to the Bahai teach
ing the Resurrection has nothing
to do with the gross physical
body. That body. once dead, is
done with. II becomes decomposed
and its atoms will never be re-
composed into the same body.
Resurrection is the birth of the
individual to spiritual life, through
the gift of the Holy Spirit bestow-
ed through the Manifestation of
God The grave from which he
arises is the grave of ignorance
and negligence of God The sleep
from which he awakens Is the
dormant spiritual condition in
which many await the dawn Of the

to depositors were relatively small.
In fact, it was a higher average
of return to bank depositors than
had been experienced in bank
losses of a half century before.
The operating plan for the bank
holiday was drafted by Mr..
Hoover's associates in the Treas
ury Department in February, 1888,
and was accepted by the incoming
administration.
Faithful to Party.
Herbert Hoover is faithful to his
Republican party, but he has
shown again and again how to
rise above partisanship. What he
has done since he has left the
White House has proved conclu-
sively that he knows how to be
first an American and second a
partisan.
Even now, at the advanced age
of rs, Herbert Hoover has not
ceased his labers in the non-par-
tisan cause. Both political parties
paid him honor by supporting res
olutions in both the houses OF
Congress. A Democratic Presi-
dent sent him message of con-
graduation.
What Herbert Hoover has done
as an ex-President is unprece-
dented. Other ex-Presidents have
performed some service but Her.
bert Hoover has been in almost
continuous public service. This has
not been entirely for the govern.

contrast between the natural grace
of the tribesmen and the antics
of distinguished radio COM
mentator and q columnist.
The scene OF this spectacle was
the Crown Gold Mines, a hall
hours drive from johannesburg
This mine, one of the largest and
Oldest on the Witwatersrand en-
ploys more than 5000 migrant ma
tive workers from all over South
Africa. They are recruited from
a score of tribes including the
Pondomise, Bupedi, Baca, Hlubi,
Amakwenkwe, Mzingili, Nguni, and
Ndau (Chai ChaD. and come from
territories within q radius OF 500
miles and more of the gold mines.
They prefer dancing to any
sport. Each Sunday, at every mine,
dance teams chosen from the var
ious tribes begin dancing early
in the morning and do not call it
quits until the sun goes down.
Visitors are welcome. but it has
no semblance to a staged tourist
attraction. The dancers, as well
as the thousands Of natives who
watch them, pay absolutely no at
tention to visitors.
Some $4,000 natives are en-
ployed by the Witwatersrand gold
mines, and they come voluntarily.

President Roosevelt declined tc
make use of Mr.. Hoover's serv-
ices. The friction that developed
in the interval between the elec-
ton in 1882 and the inauguration
in 1888 apparently was never
healed. It is regrettable that the
services of Mr.. Hoover were lost
to the country so far as the gov.
ernment was concerned from 1913:
until Mr.. Truman took Office.
Integrity Is Cited.
One characteristic that will al.
ways be written on the pages o1
history as outstanding in the case
of Herbert Hoover is his integrity
and character.
Men can win public Office. they
can amass votes, they can make
speeches lambasting their oppo.
nents, they can be great orators
and they can be bitter partisans-
and the Nation will not disapprove
of any of these. But let a presi'
dent lack anything in character
or integrity, let him exercise bae
taste and violate what is con
ceded to be public morals, and h
will go down into oblivion.

Hoover Achievements
As Ex-President Are

By David Laurence

Herbert Hoover has just beer
the recipient Of an amazing trib.
ute from his fellow countrymen
From everywhere messages of con.
gratulations have poured in or
him on the occasion Of his 75tt
birthday.
But there was something more
significant in this than the cele-
bration of a birthday or the man.
Hesitation of the popularity of g
prominent man. 1t is the ten
dency to be more objective about
his record in Office.
An entirely new generation has
been born since Herbert Hoover
was President. Twenty years have
elapsed since he took the oath
of Office. Only a part of the adult
population Of today remember.

trials and tribulations through {
period of worldwide depression
and economic convulsion.
Only a part of the reading pub
lie of today recalls how Herber
Hoover was abused as being re.
sponsible for the depression II
America when in fact the United
States was caught in a whirlpool
of economic currents that affected
every nation in the world.
Fight Is Recalled.
AS history is written, Herber1
Hoover's courageous fight against
the depression was virtually wor
by the time he was leaving office
It was only in the interval be-
tween election and inauguration
that panic seized America because
of the uncertainty of what the
new administration would do and
the apparent inability of the out
going and incoming administra-
tions to collaborate in a non-par-
tisan way.
President Roosevelt distrusteo
the Hoover administration because
it was Republican. Something OF
the same distrust permeated the
Republican administration about
the Democratic regime that was to
come into power. The responsible
ity for collaboration was plainly
imposed upon the incoming Pres
ident. Many books have been
written about that fateful period
and, of course, hindsight is better
than foresight. Yet, contempor-
aneously with the happenings
many people familiar with the
moves that were made behind the
scenes in an attempt to avoio
the financial collapse felt that the
bank holiday could have been pre-.
vented as late as January, 1888.

maintains recruiting organiza-
tions" has led to the belief in some
quarters that the natives are
forced into mine labor. This Is
not true. Their average length OF
stay at a mine until they take
their savings and return home is
about IA months.
Even if I cared to I am in no
position, after such a brief visit,
to report fully on the treatment OF
the native mine workers. But
from what saw at the Crown
mines, honesty forces me to admit
that the workers seemed perfectly
happy, well fed, and provided with
more than adequate living quar-
ters. Most of them are housed
in brick buildings, set among
pleasant surroundings. I visited
several of the quarters and found
them clean and airy. The hunks
were comfortable and each parti-
toned.
Compounds have up-to-date
kitchens under the supervision OF
capable dietitians. Each mine has
a competent medical staff. and
there is no denying that the
workers are filter than thei1
brothers who stay in the bush.
The various tribes are very clan
nish, and as far as possible they
are housed as units to avoid
trouble. Let certain tribes inter-
mingle and they are likely to for
get that they are within walking
distance of one of the most mod
ern cities in the world, and revert
to bush tactics.
They are not allowed to bring
their families to the mines, be-
cause there wouldn't be room for
them. Families of 16 and II are
