from Edge*.**!. Md. Mrs.
Watkins is an administrator,
working in the insurance
industry. She is also a mem
ber of the Local Spiritual
Assembly, (a nine person
governing body), of the
Baha'is of Harford County
Md. Mrs. Watkins briefly
outlined some of the basic
prinieples and beliefs of the
Baha'is, and emphasized that
all of us, regardless of religion
or station should continue to
work for racial unity.
The Baha'i Faith is based
upon twelve principles or
teachings which were given
by the Prophet Founder,
Bahaullah, among them are...
First, it is Incumbent upon
all mankind to investigate
truth. If such investigation be
made, all should agree and be
united, for truth or reality is
not miltiple; it is not divisible.
The different religions have

bSto^
much u God -Is kind and
loving to attv why should we
be oaUadt As tUa human
worid is ooe household, why
should its members be occu
pied with animosity sod con
tention?
The third teaching of Ba
haullah is the oneness of
religion and science. Any
religious belief which is not
conformable with scientific
proof and investigation is
superstition, for true science
is reason and reality, and
religion is essentially reality
and pure reason; therefore
the two must correspond.
Religious teaching which is at
variance with science and
reason is human intervention
and imagination unworthy of
acceptance, for the antithesis
and opposite of knowledge is
supersititon, born ot the igno
rance of man. If we say
religion is opposed to science,
we lack knowledge or either
true science or true religion,
for both are founded upon the
premises and conclusions of
A few of tiie lemaintaf

He is celled by many names
Men end women ere equel

harmony with eech other. All
people must be educated.
There is a spiritual answer to
every day problems. Every
one must learn one language
besides his own. This langu
age must be the seme for
everybody. There must be s
world government that makes
lews for the nations of the
world. **raCemncos
On Saturday, proceeding
his Baha'i address, Lew had
en opportunity to view a new
Indian film. The Odyssey of
Maryland's Indians. He was

Barter 111. producer of the

"The Issue is jobs,"

"The issue is jobs," Repu
blican candidate for Congress,
in KC.'m 7th District
said, 'the 7th District has a
33% higher unemployment
rate than the rest of the
district over the past ten
years. People are hurting.
Yet here we have a Con
C^Mman who is spending Ma
looking for a new job for
himself. Ed Johnson made
this statement from his Lum
berton office after reading of
Congressman Rose's trip to
Raleigh seeling support for a
ran for Governor in 1904
"Charlie Rone is a lot of
tan," Johnson continued.
You can t hate him. He is a
fen^Joving fellow likes to
been n^wrtedtol^Mm^!
With mow than one out of
every ten workers unemploy
fine industrial sites; we have
everything needed to attract
new industries and new jobs.
Yet we haven't got a M time
Congressman in Washington
to help industries know about
ua and move here."
"Now we find out that he is
going to put his own job
search first during the next
two rears. How much time do
think we wil get out of
I if he chases the Gover
nor's seat? We certainly can't
afford to have him noMtiring
for two mors years.
"The iaaae is jobs. Not
