xistence.

Let us try with all the strength we have to bring about happier
conditions, so that no single soul may be destitute.

VII.--The seventh principle of Baha'u'llah is:

The Equality of Men--equality before the Law

The Law must reign, and not the individual; thus will the world become a
place of beauty and true brotherhood will be realized. Having attained
solidarity, men will have found truth.

VIII.--The eighth principle of Baha'u'llah is:

Universal Peace

A Supreme Tribunal shall be elected by the peoples and governments of
every nation, where members from each country and government shall
assemble in unity. All disputes shall be brought before this Court, its
mission being to prevent war.

IX.--The ninth principle of Baha'u'llah is:

That Religion should not concern itself with Political Questions

Religion is concerned with things of the spirit, politics with things of
the world. Religion has to work with the world of thought, whilst the
field of politics lies with the world of external conditions.

It is the work of the clergy to educate the people, to instruct them, to
give them good advice and teaching so that they may progress spiritually.
With political questions they have nothing to do.

X.--The tenth principle of Baha'u'llah is:

Education and Instruction of Women

Women have equal rights with men upon earth; in religion and society they
are a very important element. As long as women are prevented from
attaining their highest possibilities, so long will men be unable to
achieve the greatness which might be theirs.

XI.--The eleventh principle of Baha'u'llah is:

The Power of the Holy Spirit, by which alone Spiritual Development is
achieved

It is only by the breath of the Holy Spirit that spiritual development can
come about. No matter how the material world may progress, no matter how
splendidly it may adorn itself, it can never be anything but a lifeless
body unless the soul is within, for it is the soul that animates the body;
the body alone has no real significance. Deprived of the blessings of the
Holy Spirit the material body would be inert.

Here are, very briefly explained, some of the principles of Baha'u'llah.

In short, it behoves us all to be lovers of truth. Let us seek her in
every season and in every country, being careful never to attach ourselves
to personalities. Let us see the light wherever it shines, and may we be
enabled to recognize the light of truth no
