| BAHAI MOVEMENT TENDS TOWARDS SPIRITUAL UNITY... The interesting talk given Tues at the Outdoor Art Club by Dr. Fareed and Mrs. Getsinger on the subject of the Bahai movemeit, was well received by a most thoughtful and intelligent, audience. Mr. Neiland Hatch delivered a short address anil introduced the speaker. Dr. Fareed said that as a result of the message given to the world by Bahai'u'llah the different sects of Persia are becoming one family of God; the Mohammedans, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians who have accepted Bahaism are now in the greatest unity and harmony. The foundation truth of Bahai'u'llale is the foundation truth of all religions. The principles of the prophets of Isreal and of Jesus Christ and of other religious teachers have been largely forgotten; Bahai'u'llale has received them. Therefore the Bahais have for the followers of other religions the greatest love and yearning because they know that mankind is one. The Bahais seek to establish friendship and union. We are all branches of one root, blades of grass in one meadow. Numbers have been attracted to the Bahai faith by the simplicity of it's teaching, it's complete freedom from narrow and exclusive dogma. It has no organization and no creed. It does not seek to proselytise; one can be a Bahai without ceasing to be a Christian, Jew or Mohammedan. It is the hour of unity of the sons of men, and a drawing together of all races and all classes. The gifts of God to this enlightened Age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and the fundemental oneness of religion. War shall cease between all nations and by the will of God Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men shall live as brothers.... | |

| ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Writes On Faith of the Bahais ijSgj And a Great Teacher of Eternal Love Abdul-Baha, a Persian Philosopher, Now Arrived in This Country, Brings a Message to Mankind, and Teaches Us That Love and Kindness Are the Great Things.... AMERICA has entertained many native and forei;.. teachers of religion and philosophy. It has entertained two remarkable masters selfless, simple, earnest, profound souls who came with great messages. These two were Vivekananda and Annie Besant. They came filled with love for all religions and hate for none. With no self-interest, with no desire to proselyte. Only a desire to help. With no egotistical assertion of having discovered a truth, but with humble gratitude that they were able to promote an eternal one. Now comes another great teacher like unto these two. Abdul-Baha, the Persian philosopher. Abdul-Baha's life is one of active service to humanity. There is no element In the dally life of this world too small to receive his attention, and yet the great motive power manifesting through him Is not of this world, but is of God. From his early childhood until his sixty-fourth year he was an exile and a prisoner, yet the light of his life and teachings has reached to the far corners of the earth. From many countries have gone to him people of different beliefs to receive spiritual help, and upon leaving him they have returned to their various homes to share with others the Joy and assurance of his spiritual message and to follow in his path of service. Some of the Ordinances of Faith of the Bahais Some of the ordinances of the Bahai faith touch upon the following subjects: Religious Unity"All men are free to believe and to worship as they will, but they are exhorted to unite in the universal faith of Baha, for only through spiritual unity will mankind attain the highest development. Tolerance "The Bahais should not separate themselves from people who are not of their belief, nor should they denounce or antagonize those holding views other than their own. The Church"ln this Cause there is no priesthood apart from the laity. Each one who receives the spirit should share it with those whom ho meets In dally life. Teaching is given without money and without price. Teachers are generally self-supporting, but occlslonally they are sent forth to teach provided with the necessaries of life by those who are desirous and able in this way to serve the Cause. Places of worship are to be provided for meeting and prayer. Marriage Celibacy and asceticism are discouraged. Man should marry and create a family and live in the world where he can show forth in his daily life the spirit which Is in his soul. Monogamy as the highest expression of Justice Is taught. Resistance"Harshness should be met with goodness and hatred with love. With these weapons the Bahais will overcome all opposition. Worship"Prayer supplemented by a pure and useful life in this world forms the e'"nents of true worship. Faith without works is not acceptable. Every man should have an occupation which conduces to the... welfare of humanity, the diligent pursuance of which is In Itself an act of worship. Be Kind to All; Be Servants of God This is what Abdul-Baha says are signs of SERVANTS OP GOD: To life the life. To be no cause of grief to any one. To love each other very much. To be kind to all people and to love them with a pure spirit. Should opposition or Injury happen to us, we must bear It, and, through all, we must love the people. Should calamity exist In the greatest degree, we must rejoice, for these things are the Gifts and Favors of God! To be silent concerning the faults of others, to pray for them and help them"through kindness "to correct their faults. To look always at the good and not at the bad. If a man has ten good qualities and one bad one, we must look at the ten and forget the one, And If a man has ten bad qualities and one good one, we must look at the one and forget the ten. To never allow ourselves to speak one unkind w T ord about another, even though that other be our enemy. To rebuke those who speak to us of the faults of others. All of our deeds must be done In kindness. To be occupied In si. oadlng tho teachings, for only through obedience to this command, Abdul-Baha has said, will we receive the power and confirmation of the spirit; and that whosoever Is grr -ted this spirit is under the favor of GOD, but otherwise he Is a lamp without light. Abdul-Baha also said that "Every seed cast In this great and magnificent country (1. «., period) will be cultivated by God, and produce plants through the abundance of the clouds of his mercy." To cut our hearts from ourselves and from the world. To be humble. To be servants of each other, and to know that we are less than any one else. To be as one soul In many bodies, for the more we love each other the nearer we will bo to GOD; but that our love, our unity, our obedience must not be by confession, but of reality. To act with cautiousness and wisdom. To be truthful. To be hospitable. To be reverent. Abdul-Baha Belongs to the Wise Class To be a cause of healing for every sick one; a pleasant water for every thirsty one; a Heavenly Table for every hungry one; a guide for every seeker: rain for cultivation; a star to every horizon; a light for every lamp; a herald to every yearning one for the Kingdom of GOD. "He that knows not and knows not that he knows not" He is a fool, shun him! He that knows not and knows that he knows not" He is Ignorant, Instruct him! He that knows and knows not that he knows " He is asleep, wake him! He that knows and knows that he knows " He Is wise, follow him!"... | |

The World's aril» le. which was acc» mpanied by pictures of the bride and groom, follows: "Verily, we are content with the will of Clod." "Verily, we are satsified with the desire of God."

The young bride urged that it be made known as widely as possible that In his home town Mr. Sohrab would have the privilege of a whole harem, which he has gladly promised to forego to be the husband of one Amerlean girl. And Abdul Hah;». "The Master," called it good in a cable yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. Sohrah, which reads: "Marriage highly blessed." The happy pair first went through a regular ' American ceremony, during which the Rev.

| Miss Oreon Drollett to Return to Tahiti... Miss Oreon Drollett, who has been a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Bosch the past year, feels that the time has arrived for her return to her home on the island of Tahiti (French possession of the| Polynesian group). Miss Drollett longs to stay in America and has grown fond of Geyservllle and learned to love the people who have shown her so much love and kindness, but, she being a Bahai, and living so near Mrs. Bosch and her complete Bahai library for the past year and more, feels a responsibility to God on the part of her native people, knowing how their hearts have been prepared by God for such a message as the Bahai cause represents, she goes back to teach them the source of unity and the principles of the Bahai faith. She will teach them that the Bahai message is a call to , religious unity and not an invitation to a new religion. It Is the ancient : path cleared of the debris of imagination and superstition of men, of the debris of strife and misunderstanding ' and is again made a clean path to j the sincere seeker that he may i enter there in assurance and find that the word of God is one, tho the speakers were many. She will tell them that the founder of the Bahai J revelations, the Bab, Bahai, Ollah and Abdul, Baha like our Lord Jesus 1 put forth a great claim or annunciation and that claim was that they were the great world teachers that had been promised in all the Holy Books of God.; that they were the premised ones of all of the religions of the world and that they should investigate such "a, claim with an unprejudiced mind and spirit and by so doing, determine for themselves whether or not their words are of divine origin or whether they spake as man spake. Miss Drolett sailed on Wednesday and was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Bosch to the city, and a host of friends from San Francisco saw her depart for her native land. Mrs, Addie Gamer lies dangerously ill at her home here In town. All of her family were away Friday morning, the daughter at school and Mr. Gamer at work and the son also at work. About nine a. m. Mrs. Gamer walked down into her orchard, and while standing beneath a aree she felt a sudden dizziness come over her. she says, and at once lost consciousness, and for hours she lay there, where she fell. Some time after noon the sun came on that side of the tree and she regained her consciousiness, but was unable to rise. She called to make someone hear. At 5 p. m. the family coming home found the house in the same condition as when leaving in the morning, and as it was when different ones came home at noon and got themselves a lunch, thinking she was at a neighbor's. On going into the orchard in the evening they found her lying there in that terrible heat of Friday and help was called at once. The doctor at. once saw what had happened; she had had a stroke of parlysls. The lady is in her early forties and such a thing seems rather unusual. At the present writing she is a little easier, altho the family and friends are greatly concerned.... | |

| GEYSERVILLE... Geyserville Grange met in session in the I. O. O. F. hall Thursday evening, with a fair attendance. The third and fourth degrees were conferred on the following candidates: Mr. and Mrs. Jahile Yeager, and Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Reed. The harvest feast was served in the lodge room, while the members sat in a cozy circle like one family. Short talks were made by each new member and several of the older ones. The newly-formed basketball team I of the high school journeyed to Santa Rosa Thursday evening, and was defeated by the Santa Rosa high school boys. The game was a good one, and well played. The drawback for our boys is the fact that there are so few to choose from, and with two teams playing, two or three of the boys are forced to play on both, which is too hard on them, and makes it impossible to win very many games. Mr. G. W. Sahr, agricultural instructor, had charge of the teams, and went with the boys. The line-up tor this year is as follows; Unlimited"Arthur Ellis, center; Morris Pay, Francis Doyle, Alfred Elgin, forwards and subs; Walter Bell and George Domincelli, guards. 130 lbs."Russell Leroux and Morris Fay, forwards and center; Francis Doyle, Alfred Elgin, Charley Barr and Amerigo Pelanconi, guards. In the game at Santa Rosa. Thursday evening, Arthur Ellis had the misfortune to have the cartilage of his nose badly injured, which will keep him from playing basket ball for some time. At a meeting of the Geyserville Farm Centey, Wednesday evening, in the Geyserville high school building, buttons were awarded to several students of the grammar and high schools, who were taking farm projects not receiving credits in school work. They were Malcolm Coombs, Kendell Dinwiddle, Winifred Wilson and Thelma Hildebrand, all of the high school; Willie Domincelli, Leonard Domincelli, Ameriga Pelanconi, Herbert Finnie, Julio Angele, Paul Davis and Clark Parkerson, of the grammar school. These young j folks have completed the projects of I last year. Plans were made for the j work of the present term, and those 1 hoys who attended the fair at Davis told of their trip in a very creditable way. Next Tuesday evening the Geyserville Aggies will play basketball with the Sebatsopol teams, and the boys would like very much to have their parents and fellow students to go with them to boost. School spirit and plenty of boosting is very much needed here. Mr .and Mrs. Jahile Yeager enter- | tained the bride and groom, Mr. and ' Mrs. Lloyd Brooks, of Alexander Valley, to dinner at their home in Geyserville, the first of the week.

Luther Smith has raised a crop of Burbanks and late Rose that .will compare most favorably with any ever seen in this part of the state. Killing frosts, the last few nights, have finished the tomato vines, and the final picking of tomatoes is now... on. There has been very good crops here this fall, and the weather has been favorable for all of the picking up to date. There has been a good business selling cars this fall by Lampson Brothers, which goes to show that at least some of the farmers were prosperous this year. The latest to buy Studebaker coaches were Jim Smith, Dr. Wright of Healdsburg, and Tony Zanzi, of the Cloverdale road. A Ford coupe was delivered to Alvin Seward, and a truck to M. Silvestri of Dry preek. There are many orders in for Fords not yet delivered.
