How would you like to start on
a seven hundred thousand mile
journey visiting practically every
part of this fine nation, with some
side trips to Canada, Mexico and
Cuba to further enrich the exper-
ience? On that tour you would
visit all government activities, ma
tional, state and local, the best
hotels and restaurants, the thous-
ands of schools and hospitals, and
the fine golf clubs then the large
manufacturing plants turning out
the products which have made us
a great industrial people, and, of
course you would not overlook the
many stations where we train the
men and women for service in
the armed forces :.
James Overlook, of Hot Springs,
Arkansas, a visitor in Phoenix has
been privileged in the past fifteen
years to have made this extensive
tour of the nation and neighboring
countries, making the contacts with
the activities found in those areas,
rendering service for better
health and more abundant living.
After the usual days work, the
observations made have been the
basis for talks in schools, churches,
clubs and groups in every com.
munity visited.
This rich experience has been
invaluable in developing an under
standing of today's pressing prob
lens, with the assurance of hope
for mankind for a better day, when
world order will be established
and universal peace preserved for
the confused peoples of the world.
Mr.. Overlook made a talk Monday
ait Phoenix College on MANS Re-
Sponsibility In His Community"
stressing the Importance today in
every community to have the
understanding to discern between
the activities which are for our
true welfare and those which are
solely for exploitation. He stressed
that the school and church should
be the reliable teaching organiza-
tions of the community, but that
all too often they become the
avenue used for spreading of false
propaganda, leading the people into
false premises, resulting in ruined
health, confusion of mind and
blighted spiritual lives.
From the teachings of the Bahai
faith, there must be a change of
heart to bring about the ideal COM
munity based on justice and truth.
To have universal peace, with a
world government, an international
house of justice, with a world
police force to preserve world
peace, the Divine revelation gives
a definite pattern for future So
ciety, and with the passing of the
years there has been a gradual
rolling up of the old order of ma
tionalism, segregation of races, and
religious preiudices, with the signs
of the unfolding of a new order
promised where unity and coopera-
ton will be established, all preiu-
dice, greed, selfish pursuits, and
exploitation will gradually disap-
pear, the nations will disarm, the
ruinous wars will cease, and the
resources of mankind will be used
for his true welfare and develop
ment
With this message, Mr.. Overlook
has been able to bring ray of
hope to people in day of con-
fusion, fear and worry, ever lead
ing the way by stressing the fact
that all this tribulation of men
comes from lack of understanding,
and true understanding and wis
dom comes from God, through
prayer and meditation, and the
study of Gods revelations through
His prophets +. Much Importance
is placed upon realizing that re-
ligion is progressive, and that in
each period of mans development,
as he stoops into the depths of
carelessness and decay, a prophet
is sent with the message needed
for that particular day, and that
particular day, and that in this day
the Promised One has come with
