The Eternal VeritiesUnderlying All ReligionsTHE Bahais are building a new house of worship not to typifyone more religious system added to the conflicting creedswhich have divided mankind but to exalt the divine and eternaltruths which underlie all the religions of the past. The founderof their Faith, Bahaullah, has made a re-statement of religionconforming to the needs of a new era.His fundamental principle declares that religious truth isBahanot absolute but relative, that Divine Revelation is a continuousiHousand progressive process, that all the great religions of the worlde of WorshipWilmetteare divine in origin, that their basic principles are in complete, Illinoisharmony, that their aims and purposes are one and the same, thattheir teachings are but facets of one truth, that their functions arecomplementary, that they differ only in the non-essential aspectsof their doctrines, and that their missions represent successivestages in the spiritual evolution of human society.The Bahai Faith upholds the unity of God, recognizes theunity of His Prophets, and inculcates the principle of the onenessand wholeness of the entire human race. It proclaims the neces-sity and inevitability of the unification of mankind, asserts thatit is gradually approaching, and claims that nothing short of thetransmuting spirit of God, working through His Chosen Mouth-piece in this day, can ultimately succeed in bringing it about.The mission of Bahaullah is to proclaim that the ages ofthe infancy and of the childhood of the human race are past, andthat the convulsions associated with the present stage of crisis arepainfully preparing mankind to assume the responsibilities of itsmature age, when the planet will be seen as one and universalpeace be attained."The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words:Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Dealye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, withfriendliness and fellowship. He who is the Day-Star of Truthbeareth Me witness! So powerful is the light of unity that it canillumine the whole earth."Bahai Public Relations536 Sheridan RoadWilmette, Illinois
