AUG. BAHA'! YEAR 126 NO. 47 MESSAGE GUARDIAN'S July 19, 1969 STATEMENT ON To: National Spiritual Assemblies’ UNITY IN TEACHING

Dear Baha'i Friends:

With great joy we announce that we have decided to increase the total number of members of the Cm- tinental Boards of Counsellors for the Protection and Propagation of the Faith to thirty-eight . by ad- ding John McHenry III to the Con- tinental Board of Counsellors in North East Asia and Masulud Khamsi to the Continental Board of Coun- sellors in South America, raising the number of Counsellors on each Board to three and four, respect- ively.

We also rejoice to announce the appointment of Mrs. Shirin Boman to the Continental Board of Coun- sellors of Western Asia to fill a vacancy on that Board.

The devoted efforts of all ele- ven Continental Boards of Counsel- lors during the first year of their service to the Faith of Baha'u'- llah have been most exemplary and praiseworthy. We are deeply grate- ful for the loyalty, steadfastness and devotion which have character- ized the activities of all members in reinforcing the vitally import- ant work of the Hands of the Cause of God.

Please share these glad tidings with the friends.

With loving Baha'i greetings, (s) THE UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE

"IT am at a loss to explain that strange mentality that inclines to uphold as the sole criterion of the truth of the Baha'i Teachings what is admittedly only an obscure andunauthenticated translation of an oral statement made by ‘Abdu'l- Baha, in defiance and total disre- gard of the available text of all of His universally recognized writ- ings. I truly deplore the unfort- unate distortions that have resul- ted in days past from the incapac-

ity of the interpreter to grasp the meaning of '‘Abdu'l-Baha, and from his incompetence to render

adequately such truths as have been revealed to him by the Master's statements. Much of the confusion that has obscured the understand- ing of the believers should be at- tributed to this double error in- volved in the inexact rendering of an only partially understood state- ment. Not infrequently has the in- terpreter even failed to conve

the exact purport of the inquirer's specific questions, and, by his deficiency of understanding and expression in conveying the answer of 'Abdu'l-Baha, has been respon- sible for reports wholly at vari- ance with the true spirit and pur- pose of the Cause. It was chiefly in view of the misleading nature of the reports of the informal con- versations of '‘Abdu'l-Baha with visiting pilgrims, that I have in- sistently urged the believers of the West to regard such statements as merely personal impressions of the sayings of their Master, and to

(Cont'd. col. 2, p. 2) [Page 2]2 THE TASK OF YOUTH

"Surely in this very critical period of human history when old institutions are beginning to crumble down or being considerably modified, there is a certain amount of maladjustments and unfortunate happenings; but such a condition is not permanent. The Cause and its institutions will gradually take their place and with its vir- ile spirit secure the full obedi- ence of its followers and of the peoples of the world as a whole. So we need not be too pessimistic as to the future or take passing conditions too seriously. The young people who are living be- tween these two eras, and seeing the destruction of old institu- tions are therefore apt to discard all respect for them and in fact view with contempt any person that may still cherish the old. Hence we see the loose morality preval- ent among them. This condition is not true only of America and Eur-

ope but also of the East, and I daresay in the East more than in the West.

"Even though the Baha'i youth should feel with the condition in which they see their non-Baha'i friends and not indict them for it, they should not let themselves be carried by the wave of world events as they are being carried. Whereas they see before them only a world that is crumbling down we are also seeing a new world being built up. Whereas they experience the des- truction of old institutions that commanded their respect, we are beholding the dawn of a new era with its strict commands and new social bonds. Their materialistic outlook shows them the futility of all things; while our faith in a regenerated and spiritualized man make us look to the future and build for it. To make them follow our ways we should sympathize with their plight but should not follow their ways. We should take our stand on a higher plane of moral and spiritual life, and setting for them the true example, urge them up to our level. The young people should read what Baha'u'llah and the Master say on such matters

and follow them conscientiously. That is if they desire to be true to the teachings and establish

them throughout the world."

To the above letter Shoghi Ef- fendi appended the following post-

.Script in his own handwriting:

"The activities, hopes and thoughts of the Baha'i youth in America, as well as in all other

parts of the world, dear to my heart. Upon them rests the supreme and challenging res- ponsibility to promote the inter- ests of the Cause of God in the days to come, to co-ordinate its world-wide activities, to extend its scope, to safeguard its integ- rity, to exalt its virtues, define its purpose and translate its ide- als and aims into memorable and a- biding achievements. Theirs is a mighty task, at once holy, stupen- dous and enthralling. May the spirit of Baha'u'llah protect and sustain them in their divinely ap- pointed task."

quote and consider as authentic only such translations as are based upon the authenticated text of His recorded utterances in the origin- al tongue.

It should be remembered by ev- ery follower of the Cause that the system of Baha'i administration is not an innovation imposed arbitra- rily upon the Baha'is of the world since the Master's passing, but de- rives its authority from the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, is specifically prescribed in unnum- bered Tablets, and rests in some of its essential features upon the explicit provisions of the Kitab- i-Aqdas. It thus unifies and co- relates the principles separately laid down by Baha'u'llah and 'Ab- du'l-Baha, and is indissolubly bound with the essential verities of the Faith. To dissociate the administrative principles of the Cause from the purely spiritual and humanitarian teachings would be tantamount to a mutilation of the body of the Cause, a separa- tion that can only result in the disintegration of its component parts, and the extinction of the Faith itself. [Page 3]TEACHERS’ WORKSHOP

The Workshop, sponsored by the National Child Education Committee, was held at the National Hazirat- u'l-Quds on August 2 and 3, 1969. Communities represented were Ewa, So. Hilo, Honolulu, Koolaupoko and Waianae. Attendance on August 2 was 12, and 18 on August 3.

On Saturday morning Mrs. Elinor Wolff offered many suggestions on teaching the very young, stressing the importance of having suitable materials on hand. She demonstra- ted how to make and use stick pup- pets, how to tell stories using flannel board, and the use of pic- tures from magazines as a stimulus to discussion.

Mrs. Lillian Chou showed parti- cipants how to teach an elementary class (ages 6-9), using art, music, story telling as principal parts

of her presentation. Mrs. Thelma Shattuck assisted Mrs. Chou. On Sunday morning, Miss Evelyn

Musacchia demonstrated one method of teaching the Junior Youth (13- 15 yrs.) by having participants take part ina course on Baha'i principles.

In the afternoon Mrs. Gladys Johnson and Mrs. Dorothy Klein- schmidt offered ways to instruct the Intermediate-age (10-13) chil- dren. An evaluation period fol-

lowed.

All _agreed they had ained much from attending the workshop, and that the time was well spent. ‘The National Child Education Com- mittee will consult on the many suggestions offered.

Dear Baha'i Friends:

In the brief space of time fol- lowing the announcement of the for- mation of six new National Spirit- ual Assemblies in Africa next Rid- van, the succession of victories, resulting from the prodigious ef- forts exerted by the devoted friends, impels us to announce that a seventh National Spiritual Assembly will be formed in Africa at Ridvan, 1970. The new National Spiritual Assembly including Congo (Brazzaville), Chad, Central Afri- can Republic and Gabon, will have its seat in Bangui. This will leave Uganda with its own separate National Spiritual Assembly.

KOOLAUPOKO Proclamation in the windward community of Koolaupoko is being

promoted with an interesting series of meetings and new ideas. Letters were sent to all the churches in the area, offering an exchange of speakers. The Church of the Latter Day Saints (Reformed) asked for a speaker for the Sunday morning Young Adults class.

Monthly study meetings are being held by the believers, the first of which was directed by Mrs. Ed- ward Bond, who chose Kokokahi YWCA as the site. Youth and adults met in separate groups to discuss means of reaching the Buddhist members of the district. The meeting in- cluded a picnic lunch, followed by a period of summarization of the morning meetings. A family swim in the pool ended the day.

Another meeting was headed by Mrs. Kathy Sweigard and was held at the Waimanalo Beach Pavilion. Included in the discussion period was the "Success in Teaching" pam- phlet by Ruhiyyih Khanum.

As previously, the day included swimming and a picnic lunch. Ano- ther meeting is scheduled for Au- gust.

Mr. and Mrs. Ted Csigi were hosts for a dessert party at which Mr. and Mrs. Bluett showed slides and answered questions about’ the spread of the Faith in Australia.

AMARILLO, TEXAS

An enthusiastic letter from Marie Fogarty to Gertrude Garrida tells of the marvelous spread of the Faith in her community. Since her arrival the group took on suf- ficient impetus that the first Spiritual Assembly was established by Ridvan. The Community has now increased to 17!

She tells of meetings, both pub- lic and deepening, and says sees even our lull periods are hectic." At one of their multi-racial meet- ings they included the chairman of the NAACP, but were unable to find an Oriental to round out the group. At the last minute she had a visit from Dr. Chung-Hoon of Honolulu, and felt his coming was an answer to prayer.

Amarillo Baha'is are to have a large booth at the annual fair and all hands are working to make it a successful medium for proclamation.

With the Guardian's wishes in mind, members of the NSA met with different communities to discuss the various aspects of the Fund, as well as the goals. In Honolulu one believer volunteered to fill the pioneer post in New Zealand and will be self-supporting. Koo- laupoko showed very favorable re- sponse and a growing maturity. Ewa was most enthusiastic, and Waianae welcomed’the visit and requested further such meetings. One member offered to re-locate anywhere on the island of Oahu, where he might be needed. The Wahiawa-Waialua meeting was well attended, and Wa- hiawa will hold a special meeting to further discuss the matter. Koolauloa meeting was well attend- ed and enthusiastic.

The representative to the outer islands reported "an excellent spirit" on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii. [Page 8]8 BOOK PLACEMENT

The community representatives who attended Marian Macalister's class on book placement on August 15 quickly discovered that training programs need not be dull.

The session, held at the Nation- al Haziratu'l-Quds, covered a 12- point program on book placement in public libraries, school libraries (both public and private) and var- ious other institutions. As most of the placement is done by "tele- phone selling," many pointers were given on this particular approach. A question and answer period was held, during which many helpful ideas were exchanged. The high- light of the evening was the prac- tice session, involving typical situations in placement, which was taped and played back, thus per- mitting the 'students' to determine how they could improve their tele- phone technique. Those who atten- ded the class were so enthusiastic about this enjoyable evening that Mrs. Macalister has agreed to con- duct another class in the near fu-

ture. Watch for the announcement! SaSES acsucatrhae cod LIBRARY REPORT Baha'u'llah and the New Era, Baha'i Community, and Communion With God, are being revised and
