notes	Editor's note: For seventy years a religion without church, priest, creed or fixed form of worship has been spreading through the Orient, claiming converts and martyrs by thousands. Love and unity are its sole principles; and on this broad program believers in various faiths can unite. This movement, called Bahaism, has also extended to Europe, Great Britain, Hawaii, and the United States. In this country the Bahais number thousands, woth large assemblies in Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, and Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Mashrak-el-Azkar (literally, the Dawning Place of Mention), a great temple where all races and creeds may worship, is about to be built in Chicago. Miss Stevens's thriliing story of Bahaism in its years of persecution, and her sympathetic interpretation of the movement, gather an additional interest from the fact that the Bahai leader, Abd-ul-Baha Abbas, is no making a visit to the Western world. Her acquaintance with Abd-ul-Baha in his Oriental home makers her story authoritative - a first-hand, intimate study.
