The teachings of Baha'u'llah are the breaths of the Holy
Spirit which create men anew. Personal amity, both in private and public, is
emphasized and insisted upon. Baha'is believe that mankind must love mankind;
that universal amity must be practiced; that dead dogmas must be thrown away;
that we are at the threshold of the Era of Interpendence; that we must forget
prejudice and that universal love must become the dominant note of the
twentieth century. The tree of humanity is one and is planted by God. The
origin is one and the end must also be one.

of the West, vol. 20, no. 1, April 1929)
