nt for all nations. In this Conference it was proved
that Peace was beneficial to all countries, and that war destroyed trade,
etc. The Czar's words were admirable though after the conference was over
he himself was the first to declare war (against Japan).

Knowledge is not enough; we hope by the Love of God we shall put it into
practice. A spiritual universal Force is needed for this. Meetings are
good for engendering spiritual force. To know that it is possible to reach
a state of perfection, is good; to march forward on the path is better. We
know that to help the poor and to be merciful is good and pleases God, but
knowledge alone does not feed the starving man, nor can the poor be warmed
by knowledge or words in the bitter winter; we must give the practical
help of Loving-kindness.

What of the Peace Congress?

It resembles many drunkards gathered together to protest against the
drinking of alcohol. They say drink is horrible and they straightway go

Theosophical Society has done. He replied:

I know it; I think a great deal of it. I know that their desire is to

Peace

During the last six thousand years nations have hated one another, it is

choose if it would be better to go back to the old state of war! Let us in
any case make the experiment. If we see that unity brings Light we shall
continue it. For six thousand years we have been walking on the left-hand
path; let us walk on the right-hand path now. We have passed many
centuries in darkness, let us advance towards the light.

Question.--(It was remarked, Theosophy teaches that truth in all the
religions is the same): Does the task of unifying all religions have
'Abdu'l-Baha's sympathy?

Answer.--Surely.

Question.--Can 'Abdu'l-Baha suggest any lines on which it could best be
worked out?

Answer.--Search for truth. Seek the realities in all religions. Put aside
