Abdul Bafia, Teacher of Religion, Devotes
His Life to Humanity and a New Faith
Hy t:.j WIIKLI.LR WILCOX.
America has entertained many na
tive and foreign teachers of religion und
philosophy. It has entertained two re
markable master selfish, aimple, earn
est, profound soula woo come with
reat mcsaaKes.
These two were.
Ylvakanaiula and
Anna licsant.
They came filled
with a love for ail
religions and hate
for none. With no
self-interest, with
no desire to prose
lyte. Only a desire
to help. With no
egotistical asser
tion of having dis
covered a truth, but
will) humble grati
tude that they were
utile to promote an
eternal one. Now
cornea another great teacher like unto
thorn two.
Abdul-Baha, the Persian philosopher.
Abdul-Baha'a lite la one ot active, ser
vice to humanity.
lie Is working to acne God. yet by
serving God he aervca mankind.
r'rom his early childhood to hla sixty
fourth year ha was an exile and a pri
soner, yet th light of but lit and teach
ing has reached to the far corners of
the earth.
From many country have gone to him
people of different beliefs to receive
spiritual help, and upon leaving Elm they
have returned to their various homes to
share with other th Joy and assurance
of hi spiritual message and to follow In
hla path of service.
Some of th ordinance of the Bahal
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 uni
versal faith ot Baha. for only through
spiritual unity will mankind attain the
Richest development.
Tolerance. The Bahal should not sep
arate themselves from people who are
not of their belief, nor should they de
nounce or antagonise thoe holding views
other than their own.
The Church. In this cause there Is no
priesthood apart from the laity. Each one
who receives the spirit should share It
with those whom he meets In dally life.
Teaching Is given without money adn
without price. Teachers are genrally self
supporting, but occasionally they are
aent forth to teach provided with the
necessaries of life by those who are de
sirous 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 cre
ate a family and live In the world where
be can show forth la his dally life the I
spirit which is In hi souL Monogamy, as
th highest expression ot Justice I
taught.
Resistance. Harshness should be met
with goodness and hatred with love.

OUT
With these weapons the Kahala will
overcome all opposition.
Worship. Prayer supplemented by a
puro and useful lite In this world forms
the elements 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.
This is what Abdul-Baha says are signs
of servant of God:
To live the life. To be no cause of grief
to any one.
To love eaoh other very much.
To be kind to all peole and to love
them with a pure spirit.
Should oppoaitlon or Injury happen to
us, we must bear It, and be as kind aa
ever we can be, and through all. we must
love the people. Should calamity exist
In the greatest degree, we must rejoice,
for these thing are the sifts and favors
of God.
To be silent oonosrnlng th faults ot
others, to pray for them and help them
through kindness to correct their
faults.
To look always at food and not at
the bad.
If a man has ten good qualities and one
bad one, we must look at the ten and for
get th one. And If a man haa ten bad
qualities and one good one. we must look
at the one and forget the ten.
To never allow ourselves to speak oae
unkind word about another, even though
that other be our enemy.
To rebuke those who speak to ' us ot
the faults of others.
All our deeds must be done In kindness.
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 an one else.
To be aa one soul in many bodies, for
the more we love each other the nearer
we will be to Ood: but that our love.
our unity, our obedience must not be by
confession, but of reality.
To act with cautioness and wisdom.
To be truthful.
To be hospitable.
To be reverent.
To be a cause of healing for every sick
one: a pleasant water for every tnirsty
one: a heavenly table for every hungry
one: a guide for every seeker: rain for
cultivation: a star to every borison; a
light for every lamp: a herald to every
yearning one for the kingdom ot God.
He that knowa not and knows not that
he knowa not
He is a tool, shun him!
He that knowa not and knowa that he
knows not
He Is Ignorant, instruct him:
He that knows and knowa not that he
knows
He Is asleep, awake him!
He that knows and knowa that he
knows
He la wise, follows him:"
Abdul Baha belongs to the latter class,
even a do Vtvakananda and Anna

The Climb to the Pole Startling
HOW THE SKXTANT IS UBKD BY AN
EXPLORER TO ASCERTAIN HIS
EXACT LOCATION.
Br GARRETT P. BKRVISH.
A bird s-eye view of the route taken by
Captain Roald Amundsen to the south
pole look like a mountaineer's picture of
the way up to an Alpine summit. It waa
a climb. After marching 382 miles across
the wonderful plain of floating ice, called
the Great Antarctic Ice Barrier a frozen
floor from sW to 1.900 feet thick, which
floats on the surface of the ocean Cap
tain Amundsen encountered the real edge
of the toutii Polar continent In the form
of a lofty range of mountains, burled
deep under snow and ice.
Then he began to climb, and continued
to mount higher for days, ascending first
to tM feet above tbe sea: then d.aUO) feet;
and finally, after some slight dips down
ward, to 10.000 feet, which was the highest
point he sttained. although he saw, aside
from his route, peaks 15,00s f-et high.
The vast white stairway up to the polar
plateau, the greater part ot which
Amundsen ascrwk-d in four deya. is
something over forty miles long. Once
on top of tiff immense snow buried plain
to which this strange climb led him.
Amundsen found the surface comparat
ively level, as if te had arrived In the
midst of a lofty prairie where snow and
ice and hummocks took the place ot
grasa and trees. An almost atralghtaway
march of about 2T miles, over the level
top of tbe plateau, brought him to the
site of the south pole, which Is raised
10,000 feet above the sea.
Across the lofty plain, whose center Is
the southern hub of the earth, fierce
winds blew, charged with ice particles as
piercing aa needles, and Amundsen and
his four companions now encountered
their greatest difficulties. To the dis
comfort caused by the storms was added
the exhaustion arising from the rarity
of the air at an elevation of nearly two
miles from sea level. But they pressed
on. until on December H. their observa
tions showed that they had reached the
pole.
For them east and west, and south It-
se!f, bad vanished, and turn whatever
I way tiiey would, they were always fac
; !ng north.
i Round them the sun, keeping about Zi
degrees above the borison, circled con
tinually, neither rising nor setting, and
neither getting perceptibly higher nor
lower In the course of twenty-four hours.

The Value of Friendship Among Girls
Br BBATKICK VAIKPAX.
If In the half-sane modern manner
seeklnk Inforaistton. I should ask
"When 1 a friend 7" what would you
reply?
Wouldn't there- pass before the mental
Image ot every girl reader a picture of
one who feed the' hungry, who wipes
way th orphan' tsar, who binds up the
wounds of the afflicted?
Perhaps to some girls there would eeme
also a vision of those to whom they
soused their little sorrows and woes, and
who oomfrrted them.
They would think of those to whom
they cave their confidences and who re
spected therp.
Pom girls mho have never looked far
ther than th.ilr own homes tor a good
friend, woulo answer, "Mother," and
girls who make that reply exhibit a wis
dom far beyond their years.
But to-all there) would come a mental
vision of a "certain (uunarltsn.
8lnce the world Ttegan th good friend
who wears the guise of "a certain Samsr-
itan" has been eulogised In poetry, prose
and painting.
Jt Is unfortunate that th lllble con
tains no parallel parable of a friend
who oame also In time of prosperity.
It Is not enough to give to those who
lose. That la no great test of chanty
The Instrument on which they prin
cipally depended to ascertain their loca
tion waa the sextant. Th way It I used
is shown in the picture. To understand
this It I necessary to remember, that 'the
height of the un above the hdrtson at
noon and on any given latitude may be
known from astronomical tables calcu
lated long In advance. At the poles the
latitude Is W degrees and there, during
the six months day which prevails alter
nately at each pole. It Is always noon,
because throughout the course of twenty
tour hours the sun keeps at virtually
the same elevation.
When, than the explorer finds tliat the
sun remains at th same elevation, as
messured by his sextant, for twenty-four
consecutive hours, he knows that he must
be at one or the other of the poles , be
cause nowhere else would the sun remain
for twenty-four hours at an unvarying
altitude. The sextant la provided with
mirrors so arranged that, while looking
direct at the line of the horlson. the ob
server csn oause the Image of the sun
to move down until It touches th horl
ton. Then a graduated circle shows him
at a glance the angle through which the
sun t Image haa been moved and that
gives Its elevation above the borison. At
sea the visible horlson can be employed
for this purpose, but Slot en lend There,
the explorer, like Captain Amundsen,
must use an artificial horlton. which
consists of s dish tilled with mercury
which Is carefully leveled snd In which
I lie Image of tbe sun Is reflected. In this
ease th angle between the sun as seen
direct through the Instrument snd Its
Image reflected In the mercury Is Just
twloe the altitude of the sun above the
real horlson.
Another way In widen an explorer
could determine roughly whether he were
at the pale or not would be by erecting
s vertical rod In the aoow and measuring
at frequent Intervals the length of ttt
shadow as the aun passed around the
sky. If the shadow always retained the
same length he would know that he
was at pole, but If the length varied dur
ing tbe twenty-four hours he conld not
be st the pole and the side on which
the shadow was shortest would show
him which way the pole lay.
It Is a curious fact, which may possibly
have something to do with the alight un
steadiness of the earth on Its axis, that
while the south pole lies in the midst of
a plateau of land nearly two miles high,
the north pole Is situated In the center
of the basin of a sea. which Is, In places
at least, about two miles deep. Why this
precisely opposite state of things exists
It is Impossible to say. On result of It,
however, is that although it will be pos
slble to erect at the south pole a monu
ment that might stand for age If its
foundations were dug down through the
snow to the solid rock, nothing of the
kind could be done at th north pole, be
cause there the actual pole Is at the bot
tom of the see. and th explorer stands
on a roof of floating ice which Is con
tinually In slow movement and gradually
traveling away, while new ice take It
place.
One of the most aignlflcant things of
all Is the fact that round th south pole.
Just ss a round the north one. wherever
thed naked rock can be reached,
vestiges are found ot a former age, when

If there Is a girl In trouble, tier girl

But If that girl attains a position In

There ts nothing romantic about such
a friendship. It Is true. It la also trtw
that at a certain emotional,, enthusiastic
period ot her life, a girl has 'a most

as little compunction as she would ehsnge

That ts due to 'her youth. As ah

something that leaves a scar when aha

Th girl who Is popular among other
girls has a popularity that haa a good
snd sane foundation.
Much a popularity Indlcatea that ih la
Just and fair, doesn't gossip, never stoops
to suspicion, and above all Is loyal. It la
easy to presage the future of k girl who
Is popular with vther girla.
8he Is the girl who grows Into a useful
worthy capable, self-reliant and reliable
woman.
There Is no school In whloh a girl can
get better self-help than tn this school
of popularity. If she will make Oder gtrr
oome first In her thought, ah will build
up a character far greater taaa if ah
made popularity with th boys th height
of her ambition.
And a boy. If he ha ths sense he need
to save him from destruction, will gTre
his heart tnto the keeping of th girl
whom other girls like, and In whom ether
girl trust.
Another thought about friends: Has an
girl a better friend than her mother?
The Httle children who searched far
and near for a blue bird, signifying hap
piness, though they left a blue bird at
heme, have many comrade on the Way.
Among those who engage In the foolish
and fruitless search all over th world:
fur that which may be found at boms
art- the girls who put the friend made
away from home higher than the friend
they left there.
And that is ths friend found In their
mother.
Mew Lace Waa first Made.
The peasants of Europe have a ro
mantic legend concerning th origin ot
lace. A lover who could offer hi he
frothed no costly gift brought her a leaf
which he had plucked In the forest. Bha
accepted It as a true token of love and
preserved It with care. In time the lover
went away and never returned. Tha
maiden prised the leaf as a sacred treas
ure and when she found only tbe delicate
reining left of her keepsake she took
needle and thread and tried to copy th
fairylike web. And thus was mad th
first bit of real lac.
