abstract	'At the end of 1929 the New York World wrote that Helen was a convert to the Persian religious cult of Baha Ullah, more popularly known as Baha'i. She was deeply upset, she wrote hurriedly to Sperry [Rev. Paul], and asked that he help her correct the misunderstanding: 'It is most important to me that I should not be misinterpreted in my religion. As you know, since I was sixteen years old I have been a strong believer in the doctrines of Emanuel Swedenborg. Why should I change my faith, since it opens my spiritual eyes to all that is beautiful and noble and livable? ... I have a profound respect for the teachings of Baha Ullah, just as I have for the noble thoughts of all great prophets and seers. But it never occurred to me that any one would think that I had 'adopted the Persian religion' because I was speaking to Bahai followers.''
