Te the Editor of the "Nonri-Cutsa Dany News Sin—T do not know when T sce. cats on the roof-top, if they are alley cats or incarnated cats or deserted eats or just. plain loafers Jwho will not stay home. But anyway it seems to me that the big grey cat, some days found a nice cool place beside a chimney fon a roof-top and has spent its days in going round and telling the cats it met up with that if they' were looking for a cool place to sleep during these hot nights the roof-top is as cool a place as a cat might find in q month-long search. HFurthermore it is apparent. they all have believed the big grey cat, for just last night when 1 came home to light my room, T could easily see back' in the gloom of the darkened place between the earth and. the sky above, fourteen eyes reflecting the light from my room. Seven Jeats. And what it Is that troubles Jme is that very Ukely some of these Jeats may be incarnated cats—or are they all' just plain lost cats, and the lowners are searching - everywhere for them, for they are up on the roof top and will not go home.

Oneness of Humanity To the Editor of the "Nogeu-Ciita Dany News"
Si—The watchword of the Baha'i faith is the unification of the human race; its standard the Most Great Peace.
One of the many new teachings for this day, is the oneness of the world of humanity. "Ye are all the leaves, fof one tree, the fruit of one Arbor" says Baha'u'llah, "Oneness in its true significance, means that God alone should be realized as the one power which animates and dominates all things, and which are manifesto tions of iis energy. Glory is not his, who loves his country, but Glory 15 hhis who loves his kind. We desire but the good of the world and the happiness' of the nations—that all nations should become one in faith, Jand alt men as brothers; that the bond of unity between the sons of men should be strengthened; that diversity of religion should cease, and differences of race be annulled." So it shall be: these strifes, this blood~ shed and discord must cease, and all men be as one kindred and one family:
"Ye must be as one soul in many bodies," says Abdul Baba, "The stax tion of man is great if he will. but realize that he is made in God's image, and lives in accordance with God's will, as revealed by the Pro-Phets, when men realize that they fre all a part of one organism, members of one family, and learn to treat each other as brothers, to sub> stitute ce-operation for conflict, mutual aid for enmity and the spirit of service for selfishness, then the Tatent possibilities in human nature wit become apparent"
All humanity are of One God, should there be among these children ignorant ones, they must be educated, ignorant sick ones must be treated—unity and agroement, love and fellowship are the causes of life, therefore we must put forth special effort that unity and agreement may be increased among humanity and that love and amity may become more resplendently glo-lous and manifest. Abdul Baba proclaims that the most important of the twelve principles of the Baha'i teach-Ing is the oneness of the world of humanity; how foolish it is, he said, for man to establish. difference of race and nationality, when the whole world is in reality one country. Do the animals differentiate between themselves. because of differences of colour? Why then should man reflect Yess intelligence than the animals and the birds?
"The oneness of the world of human ity Is becoming more and more apparent. Steamships and aeroplanes, Telephones and radios, to mention only a few of the more obvious agencies, are bringing all the people of ihe earth into close daily contact, and unless all peoples soon learn to live in peace and harmony, civilization will be annihilated. One of Europe's most eminent thinkers, honoured for his wisdom and restraint, made the bold assertion:—"The world is passing through the gravest crisis in the his tory of civilization. We stand, either before a world catastrophe of perhaps before the dawn of a great era of truth and wisdom—it is at such Les that religions "have perished Europe uttered this warning [should break out on a major scale in Europe, it must bring the collapse of The nationalism rampant all over the world at the present time is yet another indication of the need for recognizing the oneness of mankind. Nationalism is the last stand of the old world order, strugaing desperately against "inevitable defeat, the deepest hour of darkness which' foretells the inevitable dawn.
New systems of government Europe, as well as the "new deal" in the United States, point directly to a New Era of social justice for all men JOut of the present chaos of wars, strikes and general social unrest and upheaval must come an entirely new Jorder of affairs. We have progressed too far in our scientific attainments be any longer governed by old foutemoded laws and institutions.
Baha'is believe that this teaching the direct result of the will of God, that this great truth be established in the hearts of mankind. We see the Divine will working through the Anite will of man, compelling its Command, in devious ways. The New World Order, then embraces a world commonwweaith, in which "all nations shall dwell in'peace. It foreshadows a day when all the peoples Jot the world will dwell together in harmony, understanding and universal prosperity. "'This is rapidly approaching, its consumption will be the Golden Afillennium when the Kingdom of this world will " become the Kingdom of God Himself, Mancanet H, Arwaree, 44 NW. 10th Ave, Miami, Florida.
