hich He found them. Was not this a good work, and worthy of all
praise, respect and love?

Look at the Gospel of the Lord Christ and see how glorious it is! Yet even
today men fail to understand its priceless beauty, and misinterpret its
words of wisdom.

Christ forbade war! When the disciple Peter, thinking to defend his Lord,
cut off the ear of the servant of the High Priest, Christ said to him:
'Put up thy sword into the sheath'.(4) Yet, in spite of the direct command
of the Lord they profess to serve--men still dispute, make war, and kill
one another, and His counsels and teaching seem quite forgotten.

But do not therefore attribute to the Masters and Prophets the evil deeds
of their followers. If the priests, teachers and people, lead lives which
are contrary to the religion they profess to follow, is that the fault of
Christ or the other Teachers?

The people of Islam were taught to realize how Jesus came from God and was
born of the Spirit, and that He must be glorified of all men. Moses was a
prophet of God, and revealed in His day and for the people to whom He was
sent, the Book of God.

Muhammad recognized the sublime grandeur of Christ and the greatness of
Moses and the prophets. If only the whole world would acknowledge the
greatness of Muhammad and all the Heaven-sent Teachers, strife and discord
would soon vanish from the face of the earth, and God's Kingdom would come
among men.

The people of Islam who glorify Christ are not humiliated by so doing.

Christ was the Prophet of the Christians, Moses of the Jews--why should not
the followers of each prophet recognize and honour the other prophets
also? If men could only learn the lesson of mutual tolerance,
understanding, and brotherly love, the unity of the world would soon be an
established fact.

Baha'u'llah spent His life teaching this lesson of Love and Unity. Let us
then put away from us all prejudice and intolerance, and strive with all
our hearts and souls to bring about understanding and unity between
Christians and Mussulmans.

THE BENEFITS OF GOD TO MAN

4 Avenue de Camoeens,

God alone ordereth all things and is all-powerful. Why then does He send
trials to His servants?

The trials of man are of two kinds. (a) The consequences of his own
actions. If a man eats too much, he ruins his digestion; if he takes
poison he becomes ill or dies. If a person gambles he will lose his money;
if he drinks too much he will
