Bahaism

By Editor

Bahaism.—A marked copy of the Kansas City Star is sent us containing an article on Bahaism, in which we are told that it is spreading with remarkable rapidity, numbering two million adherents already. Evidently the very article is written with the purpose of puffing the new cult. It aims to build up what it calls a creed of love, resting for its foundation on all preceding religions, a wonderfully composite foundation which like the clay and iron in the great image of Daniel will be found to crumble under the stress of time. It is truly a cult, not a power or a life. It will doubtless make its many converts among those who do not know the power of Christianity. But to those who do know, to turn to it would be like leaving the cold snow-waters of Lebanon to drink from the broken and corrupted cisterns of men.
