MESSAGE[edit]

July 10, 1969

To: National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends:

With great joy we announce that we have decided to increase the total number of members of the Continental Boards of Counsellors for the Protection and Propagation of the Faith to thirty-eight by adding John McHenry III to the Continental Board of Counsellors in North East Asia and Masuud Khamsi to the Continental Board of Counsellors in South America, raising the number of Counsellors on each Board to three and four, respectively.

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

The devoted efforts of all eleven Continental Boards of Counsellors during the first year of their service to the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh have been most exemplary and praiseworthy. We are deeply grateful for the loyalty, steadfastness and devotion which have characterized the activities of all members in reinforcing the vitally important work of the Hands of the Cause of God.

Please share these glad tidings with the friends.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

GUARDIAN'S STATEMENT ON UNITY IN TEACHING[edit]

"I am at a loss to explain that strange mentality that inclines to uphold as the sole criterion of the truth of the Bahá’í Teachings what is admittedly only an obscure and unauthenticated translation of an oral statement made by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, in defiance and total disregard of the available text of all of His universally recognized writings. I truly deplore the unfortunate distortions that have resulted in days past from the incapacity of the interpreter to grasp the meaning of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, 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 understanding of the believers should be attributed to this double error involved in the inexact rendering of an only partially understood statement. Not infrequently has the interpreter even failed to convey the exact purport of the inquirer's specific questions, and, by his deficiency of understanding and expression in conveying the answer of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, has been responsible for reports wholly at variance with the true spirit and purpose of the Cause. It was chiefly in view of the misleading nature of the reports of the informal conversations of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá with visiting pilgrims, that I have insistently urged the believers of the West to regard such statements as merely personal impressions of the sayings of their Master, and to" [Page 2]

THE TASK OF YOUTH[edit]

"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 virile spirit secure the full obedience 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 between these two eras, and seeing the destruction of old institutions 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 prevalent among them. This condition is not true only of America and Europe but also of the East, and I daresay in the East more than in the West.

"Even though the Bahá’í youth should feel with the condition in which they see their non-Bahá’í 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 destruction 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 Bahá’u’lláh 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 Effendi appended the following postscript in his own handwriting:

"The activities, hopes and thoughts of the Bahá’í youth in America, as well as in all other parts of the world, are close and dear to my heart. Upon them rests the supreme and challenging responsibility to promote the interests of the Cause of God in the days to come, to co-ordinate its world-wide activities, to extend its scope, to safeguard its integrity, to exalt its virtues, define its purpose and translate its ideals and aims into memorable and abiding achievements. Theirs is a mighty task, at once holy, stupendous and enthralling. May the spirit of Bahá’u’lláh protect and sustain them in their divinely appointed task."

(From the Guardian to a believer, through his secretary, October 26, 1932)

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

It should be remembered by every follower of the Cause that the system of Bahá’í administration is not an innovation imposed arbitrarily upon the Bahá’ís of the world since the Master's passing, but derives its authority from the Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, is specifically prescribed in unnumbered Tablets, and rests in some of its essential features upon the explicit provisions of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. It thus unifies and co-relates the principles separately laid down by Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá 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 separation that can only result in the disintegration of its component parts, and the extinction of the Faith itself. [Page 3]

TEACHERS’ WORKSHOP[edit]

The Workshop, sponsored by the National Child Education Committee, was held at the National Hazírat-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 demonstrated how to make and use stick puppets, how to tell stories using flannel board, and the use of pictures from magazines as a stimulus to discussion.

Mrs. Lillian Chou showed participants 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 in a course on Bahá’í principles.

In the afternoon Mrs. Gladys Johnson and Mrs. Dorothy Kleinschmidt offered ways to instruct the Intermediate-age (10-13) children. An evaluation period followed.

All agreed they had gained much from attending the workshop, and that the time was well spent. The National Child Education Committee will consult on the many suggestions offered.

Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Jones, formerly of the Honolulu Community. Gwen met her husband here on July 21 when he arrived on Rest & Recuperation from Chu-Lai, Vietnam, where he is attached to the U.S. Marine Corps MAG-13. Rudy is serving as a medical technician with the U.S. Navy.

SPECIAL MESSAGE[edit]

August 11, 1969.

To All National Spiritual Assemblies -

Dear Bahá’í Friends:

In the brief space of time following the announcement of the formation of six new National Spiritual Assemblies in Africa next Riḍván, the succession of victories, resulting from the prodigious efforts exerted by the devoted friends, impels us to announce that a seventh National Spiritual Assembly will be formed in Africa at Riḍván, 1970. The new National Spiritual Assembly including Congo (Brazzaville), Chad, Central African Republic and Gabon, will have its seat in Bangui. This will leave Uganda with its own separate National Spiritual Assembly.

Please share this joyous news with the believers. We know the friends throughout the world will join us in our supplications for the continued, uninterrupted prosecution and speedy fulfillment of the goals, terminating in the ultimate triumph of the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

HERE & THERE[edit]

KOOLAUPOKO[edit]

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. Edward 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 included 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" pamphlet by Rúhíyyih Khánum.

As previously, the day included swimming and a picnic lunch. Another meeting is scheduled for August.

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.

Group of young people who attended the National Youth Convention held early in June at the National Hazíratu’l-Quds.

AMARILLO, TEXAS[edit]

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 sufficient impetus that the first Spiritual Assembly was established by Ridvan. The Community has now increased to 17!

She tells of meetings, both public and deepening, and says "even our lull periods are hectic." At one of their multi-racial meetings 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 Bahá’ís are to have a large booth at the annual fair and all hands are working to make it a successful medium for proclamation.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES[edit]

The following positions are now available in American Samoa:

  • Qualified school teachers, both elementary and high school
  • Qualified doctors (obstetrics, eye, ear, nose and throat; pediatrician; general medicine, etc.)
  • Qualified hospital laboratory technician
  • Qualified RN nurses (nursing sisters)
  • Qualified Tutor Sister
  • Qualified auto mechanic
  • Qualified lawyers
  • Qualified photographer
  • Public Works engineers

These are all Government jobs and applications should be sent immediately to the Governor of American Samoa, Pago Pago, 96920, American Samoa. Full details of qualifications and experience should accompany each application.

"Now is the time," ‘Abdu’l-Bahá remarked, "for you to divest yourselves of the garment of attachment to this world that perisheth, to be wholly severed from the physical world, become heavenly angels, and travel......." Shoghi Effendi, in "Citadel of Faith." [Page 5]

HAIFA[edit]

Newsweek magazine for July 7 reports on the great oil explosion and fire on the Haifa waterfront, the work of saboteurs. The article quotes: ".....workers.....heard a thunderous explosion and saw great clouds of greasy smoke rise high into the air, blotting out the gleaming golden dome of the Bahá’í temple halfway up the slopes of Mount Carmel."

FRANCE[edit]

A circular letter from France notes that there will be an 18-mo. delay in the art edition of Bahá’u’lláh’s Writings as the work of accurate translation is taking an extended amount of time. The letter also states that those who wish to cancel their orders may do so and that in such cases deposits will be refunded.

LOST!!![edit]

Mrs. Tahirih Irvin lost a lovely ring, set with an emerald and two pearls, somewhere in the National Hazíratu’l-Quds on the evening of a farewell party for Doreen Gritman. Painstaking search failed to locate the ring. If anyone finds it, kindly drop it in the NSA mailbox in the pantry, so that it may be returned. Mahalo!

FIRE TABLET[edit]

In June, 1969, the National Spiritual Assembly of the Hawaiian Islands wrote to the Universal House of Justice concerning use of the Fire Tablet, and received the following reply:

"There is no objection to your duplicating the Fire Tablet and distributing it, if you wish to do so."

ALOHA[edit]

On Saturday, July 26, the Hawaii Bahá’ís hosted an Aloha party for Doreen Gritman who leaves for Haifa on August 7. Doreen has received the great bounty of serving the Universal House of Justice in the secretariat, and is excited and thrilled at the prospect of further serving Bahá’u’lláh at the World Center of the Faith.

HAMAKUA[edit]

With the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Major Dunne and the declaration of Don Heverly, Hamakua now has elected its first Spiritual Assembly. Members are John and Nedra Murray, Jack and Cheryl Spock, Angela Russell, John Thurston, Major and Zara Dunne, and Don Heverly. Congratulations!

Proclamation events include two breakfasts and a picnic, the latter held at Laupahoehoe Park.

The Hamakua Community has also awarded a Bahá’í scholarship to a deserving 1969 graduate of Honokaa High School as another means of proclamation.

Group at Laupahoehoe Park, at which NSA representative Tracy Hamilton spoke of the Fund, our goals, and Proclamation. Brad Hollinger, recently returned from pioneering in the Marshalls, piloted the plane, making the complete island circuit. Excellent representation at the meeting was from the communities of Hamakua, No. Kona, So. Hilo and So. Kona.

EWA[edit]

The Bahá’ís of Ewa held a public meeting on August 8 at the Waipahu Library. Mrs. Charlotte Pelle, who is a guide at the Temple in Wilmette, presented slides and interesting information about the Temple to approximately 25 people who attended.

However, the Board did comply with the law and proceeded to employ a young woman who also happened to be a Bahá’í. She won everyone, children, teachers, parents, so thoroughly that the Parent Teachers Association has asked that a Bahá’í representative from Shreveport be present at all of their meetings.

NATIONAL SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY REPORTS[edit]

"We must be like the fountain or spring that is continually emptying itself of all that it has and is continually being refilled from an invisible source. To be continually giving out for the good of our fellows undeterred by fear of poverty and reliant on the unfailing bounty of the Source of all wealth and all good --this is the secret of right living." - Shoghi Effendi, Bahá’í News #205, Mar. 1948.

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. Koolaupoko showed very favorable response and a growing maturity. Ewa was most enthusiastic, and Waianae welcomed the visit and requested further such meetings. One member offered to relocate anywhere on the island of Oahu, where he might be needed. The Wahiawa-Waialua meeting was well attended, and Wahiawa will hold a special meeting to further discuss the matter. Koolauloa meeting was well attended and enthusiastic.

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

BOOK PLACEMENT[edit]

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 National Hazíratu’l-Quds, covered a 12-point program on book placement in public libraries, school libraries (both public and private) and various other institutions. As most of the placement is done by "telephone selling," many pointers were given on this particular approach. A question and answer period was held, during which many helpful ideas were exchanged. The highlight of the evening was the practice session, involving typical situations in placement, which was taped and played back, thus permitting the ‘students’ to determine how they could improve their telephone technique. Those who attended the class were so enthusiastic about this enjoyable evening that Mrs. Macalister has agreed to conduct another class in the near future. Watch for the announcement!
