[Page 1]LIGHT of the PACIFIC HAWAII BAHÁ’Í NEWS PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY OF THE BAHÁ’ÍS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS FOR CIRCULATION AMONG BAHÁ’ÍS ONLY

DEC.-1969 BAHÁ’Í YEAR 126 NO. 50

FROM THE UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE

November 18, 1969.

To: National Spiritual Assemblies- Dear Bahá’í Friends:

Enclosed please find our letter of 16 November 1969 addressed to the Bahá’ís of the World. Please share this letter with all the believers in your jurisdiction as soon as possible.

After several years of protracted negotiations with agencies of the Israel Government both in Jerusalem and Haifa, an important property adjacent to Bahjí and embracing the Master’s tea house has been acquired. On November 17th we cabled the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States as follows:

"WITH GRATEFUL HEARTS ANNOUNCE SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION FORMAL NEGOTIATIONS INITIATED NEARLY TWO DECADES AGO BY BELOVED GUARDIAN WITH AUTHORITIES STATE ISRAEL RESULTING OWNERSHIP VITALLY NEEDED PROPERTY SURROUNDING ABDULBAHAS TEAHOUSE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOURHOOD MOST HOLY TOMB FOUNDER FAITH STOP ACQUISITION MUCH DESIRED LAND EXTENDING GARDENS BAHJI FACILITATED THROUGH EXCHANGE PROPERTY DEDICATED SOME ‎THIRTYS IX THIRTY-SIX‎ YEARS AGO TO HOLY TOMB BAHAULLAH BY DEVOTED SERVANT CAUSE HAJI ALI YAZDI (SIGNED) UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE."

The successful conclusion of these negotiations initiated during the lifetime of the beloved Guardian was made possible through the acceptance by the Government, as even exchange, of an endowment property given to the Faith in 1933 by the late Haji ‘Alí Yazdí. The significance of the specific piece of land donated by this venerable soul becomes apparent when reading the following quotation from the IN MEMORIAM article about him in THE BAHÁ’Í WORLD, Volume IX:

"He will forever be remembered, amongst other things, as the establisher of Bahá’í endowments in the vicinity of ‘Akká through this gift of a tract of land dedicated to Bahá’u’lláh’s Holy Tomb in Bahjí..."

It is a glowing tribute to the memory of this devoted servant of the Blessed Beauty that his gift should play such an important part in securing this valuable additional safeguard for the Most Holy Tomb.

Please also convey the news of this victory to the friends.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

(s) THE UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE

CONFERENCE

Mrs. La Vida Cortez spoke at the opening of the Mid-Year Conference of her pioneering on Molokai. She explained how, when she was living in Oakland, California, she and her husband, upon his retirement, took a 21-day vacation. They chose Hawaii, with the thought in mind that they would consider their situation and try to re-locate in an area where they were needed by the Faith. Friends suggested they visit Molokai, which had once had an Assembly. After many trials in securing a place to live, they have settled in Kaunakakai, made friends and helped to develop the Bahá’í community from 10 to 15 members. The LSA is now functioning, they observe Feasts, hold firesides and have established a child education class.

Mrs. Babs Knight of the Big Island spoke of the difficulties in attending meetings there, disclosing that in some instances it means travelling 125 miles one way.

Pat Parks of Kauai reminded us of Mr. Furutan’s remark that at least "one per cent of the populations in every area is waiting and longing to hear of the Faith."

Ben Ayala, NSA member, spoke of the upsurge of interest in the Faith by the youth.

Maui’s report included a brief account by Dorothea Strait on a "Youth Happening" held on Labor Day weekend, and a report by Hugh Chapman on the progress of teaching on his island. They are holding firesides every night of the week and teach the Faith wherever and whenever the opportunity arises. As many as fifty seekers attend some of the meetings, and the "wandering hippie" types who flock for free food produce those who are willing to change and become true seekers.

Radio announcer Dick Graham of KHVH was moderator of the Human Rights Day program at the National Haziratu’l-Quds on December 10.

Mr. John Kernell, representative of the Mayor of Honolulu, spoke of individual happiness versus the happiness of others. He explained the errors in present day society and its trend toward rationalizing neurotic permissiveness. He mentioned the need for personal discipline, control and responsibility in human rights.

State Representative Peter Iha directed his discussion toward the Bill of Rights and the responsibility of government to provide the means for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to its people. He stated that we must believe in world peace and human dignity, and must extend our help to others by completely adopting the Declaration of Human Rights as outlined by the United Nations. He referred to Lyndon B. Johnson’s statement to the effect that "It is not enough to open the gates of opportunity. The people must be helped to go through these gates."

Dr. Robert Wolff spoke on the Bahá’í principles of Human Rights and stressed the fact that change will come when there is a complete understanding and acceptance of religion.

About sixty people attended the meeting. A question and answer ‎per-iod period‎ brought forth lively discussion after the speakers had presented their views.

RECENT VISITOR WRITES

Mrs. Beth McKenty, a ‎reeent recent‎ visitor from Milwaukee, writes: “My itinerary while in Hawaii gave me an opportunity to meet many of the friends and to deepen my understanding and appreciation of the wonderful efforts being made to extend His Cause. So many of you showed me kindnesses, and some of them I have written to individually, but I would be grateful if at the next Feast you could just convey my appreciation for courtesies shown me during my visit.”

PANAMA REPORT

Paul Thiele has sent a report on the progress of the Panama Temple:

“The dry season finally has arrived in Panama. On December 2 the ground was broken for the Temple. First, an office for the contractor was built, then necessary lines for the foundation for the wing walls were laid out. The following Tuesday, December 9, an air compressor was brought in, and four men to dig the trenches for the foundation. There will be nine trenches, each 24 ft. long, 8 ft. wide and 5 ft. deep. They are digging into solid rock.

“Two of the NSA members (and Paul Thiele) met for 25 minutes with government heads Pres. Pinilla and Vice-Pres. ‎Vrutia Urrutia‎, at the presidential palace. The purpose was to develop better relationship and an understanding of what is being built, also, to confirm that this is a non-taxable project. The meeting was very successful, and pictures were taken for publication in the newspaper.

“There are on hand at the Center’s bookstore cards imprinted with a prayer for the House of Worship. They are yours for the asking. If you are remembering your financial support, one of these will be sent to you.”

WEDDING

Anne Elizabeth Dahlstrom to David Bibb, non-Bahá’í, December 20, in Waialua, Oahu.

A Bahá’í picnic was held in November at Hapuna Beach Park on the Big Island. About 65 attended the delightful outing and of this number, about 20 were non-Bahá’ís.

Members from South and North Kona, Hamakua, South and North Kohala and Maui, attended the event, which featured readings from the Gleanings, and much singing.

MAUI

Maui reports on the recent visit of “Seals & Crofts” music group, which includes Bahá’í songs in their repertoire. Over a hundred people attended a presentation of the Faith at the Chapman home at which the group played.

They also played at a Bahá’í program at Mauna Olu College attended by over 200 people. The two sons of the college president have declared themselves Bahá’ís.

Bahá’ís of Maui celebrated Bahá’u’lláh’s Birthday at the Maui Youth Center, Honokahua, Lahaina. The celebration began at noon with readings on the life of Bahá’u’lláh. A potluck lunch was enjoyed by about forty members.

SPECIAL FIRESIDE

Approximately thirty Bahá’ís and guests gathered at the Bahá’í Center on December 19 for the regular Friday night fireside. Guest speaker for the evening was Dr. Edris Rice-Wray of Mexico City, who came to the Islands to lecture at the School of Public Health at the University of Hawaii. [Page 7]

ALIENS

The United States Government requires all aliens to report their addresses before January 31, 1970. Forms for this purpose may be obtained at any Post Office or the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Willful failure on the part of any alien to comply with this requirement carries a penalty of possible fine and deportation.

WAIALUA

The Bahá’ís of Waialua and Wahiawa hosted a cookout-fireside at the home of Mrs. Doris Dahlstrom in Haleiwa. About sixty Bahá’ís and friends were present and sat around a huge bonfire to hear principles of the Faith presented by Dr. Larry Beers. Mr. Al Raubitscheck of Hong Kong was a visitor for the evening and spoke of the developing work of the Faith in his area. He outlined the difficulties, sometimes amusing, encountered when a Bahá’í talk must be translated into many different languages and dialects, thus illustrating the need for a universal auxiliary language.

The delicious supper was generously served by the Bahá’ís to their guests. The evening ended with Bahá’í and other songs.

Children of the Sunday morning classes busy making flower favors for distribution during Intercalary Days to patients in convalescent homes.

EDITORIAL

Your "Light of the Pacific" staff always welcomes pictures of various people and events which come in with reports from our communities. That most of the pictures are not used is due to a variety of reasons:

1. Pictures too small. 2. Colored pictures (do not reproduce well.) 3. Subject matter not sharply defined. 4. Pictures too light or too dark.

Reproducing pictures adds to the cost of the L.O.P., so that extra cost must be justified. May we suggest some guidelines to help you secure good pictures for your stories. We like pictures either 3½ inches wide or, for important events, 8 inches wide. Pictures must be glossy prints. Do try to get meaningful shots — remember, "candid shots of knees elbows and backs are fun for the album but make poor news shots. The general rule for news photos is that group shots contain no more than six people, and preferably fewer. This rule is excepted, of course, by shots of convention groups, etc.

Frequently, because they are all we have, we use pictures of indifferent quality, simply to add interest to the issue.

Finally, does your picture tell or show something to someone else? Does the picture make you interested in the article? If not put it in your scrapbook and try again!

Mahalo, The Editors.
