BAHA'! UNIVERSAL

DEC.-1969 FROM THE

November 18, 1969.

To: National Spiritual Assemblies- Dear Baha'i Friends:

Enclosed please find our letter of 16 November 1969 addressed to the Baha'is of the World. Please share this letter with all the be- lievers in your jurisdiction as soon as possible.

After several years of protrac- ted negotiations with agencies of the Israel Government both in Jer- usalem and Haifa, an important property adjacent to Bahji and em- bracing the Master's tea house has been acquired. On November 17th

we cabled the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States as follows?

The successful conclusion of these negotiations initiated dur- ing the lifetime of the beloved Guardian was made possible through the acceptance by the Government, as even exchange, of

YEAR 126 NO. 50 HOUSE OF JUSTICE

an endowment property given to the Faith in 1933 by the late Haji ‘Ali Yazdi. The significance of the specific piece of land do- nated by this venerable soul be- comes apparent when reading the following quotation from the IN MEMORIAM article about him in THE BAHA'I WORLD, Volume IX:

"He will forever be remembered, amongst other things, as the establisher of Baha'i endow- ments in the vicinity of "Akka through this gift of a tract of land dedicated to Baha'u'llah's Holy Tomb in Bahji..."

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 addi- epee safeguard for the Most Holy

omb.

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

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

SPECIAL!

Mimeographed copies of a letter from the Universal House of Just- ice, regarding the functioning of the Continental Board of Counsel- lors and Auxiliary Board Members, were distributed at the reeent Mid-Year Conference. The friends are requested to use this in dis- cussion at the deepening classes held by ali communities. Anyone desiring an extra copy is asked to contact the NSA secretary.

[Page 2]2 NSA MEMBERS VISIT

Miss Gertrude Garrida reportedm her recent trip to the Big Island as a representative of the Nation- al Spiritual Assembly.

A meeting was held at the Waipio Pavillion, which featured a post- fleeting picnic lunch. A surprise visitor was John Huston, on duty at Pepeekeo with the Peace Corps. John opened the meeting with a prayer.

The crucial appeal from the NSA for the Fund was discussed and ex- plained at some length, and inclu- ded were readings from The Dawn- breakers regarding the privileges an essings of contributions as expressions of gratitude in active service.

The three ages -- Heroic, Form- ative and Golden -- were presented, followed by a short resume of the Divine Plan consisting of fourteen separate Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Baha.

The chairman of the National Youth Committee gave a brief report on the upcoming Winter Conference.

There was discussion on conso-

lidation, giving the three im- portant points brought out by the Universal House of Justice. These

are: 1. Increase understanding of real nature of Baha'i Law. 2. New order of human relations. 3. Living the life. The importance of seminars,

deepening classes and consultation on teaching were stressed.

MAUL

Maui Teaching & Goals Committee sent a thank you to the National Spiritual Assembly for arranging the recent visit of Wm. Foster as NSA representative.

A meeting was held on October 24,1969, at the Maui Youth Center. There were ten non-Baha'is present.

A Baha'i meeting was held after

the fireside, for deepening and consultation. A second fireside was held at

the Chapman home on October 25 and was well attended.

‘MOLOKAL

_ The Baha'is of Molokai were vis- ited byNational Spiritual Assembly representative Wm. Foster on Octo-= ber 26, 1969. He discussed pion- eering and engendered much enthus- iasm by his knowledge of the sub- ject and the warmth of his response to questions.

The Fund was discussed at length and also the sending of Mr. Sidney Kent to Kalawao for a survey of the area for future planning.

KAUAT

Mr. Ben Ayala, National Treasu- rer, visited Kauai from October 24 to 26.

Mahalo, National Goals Committee. [Page 3]MID-YEAR CONFERENCE

Mrs. LaVida 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 2l-day vacation. They chose Ha- waii, with the thought in mind that they would consider their situa- tion and try to re-locate in an area where they were needed by the Faith. Friends suggested they vi- sit 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 Baha'i community from 10 to 15 members. The LSA is now functioning, they observe Feasts, hold firesides and enki established a child education class.

Mrs. Babs Knight of the Big Is-.

land spoke of the difficulties in attending meetings there, disclos- ing 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 popula- tions 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 teach- ing on his island. They are hold- ing firesides every night of the week and teach the Faith wherever and whenever the opportunity aris- es. As many as fifty seekers at- tend 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.

HUMAN RIGHTS 3

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

Mr. John Kernell, representat- ive 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 men- tioned the need for personal disci- pline, control and responsibility in human rights.

State Representative Peter Iha directed his discussion toward the Bill of Rights and the responsi- bility 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 Declarat- ion 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 oppor- tunity. The people must be helped to go through these gates."

Dr. Robert Wolff spoke on the Baha'i 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 pethod brought forth lively dis- cussion after the speakers had presented their views.

RECENT VISITOR WRITES

Mrs. Beth McKenty, a reeent vis- itor from Milwaukee, writes: "My itinerary while in Hawaii gave me an opportunity to meet many of the friends and to deepen my under standing 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 individual- ly, but I would be grateful if at the next Feast you could just con- vey 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, ar- rived in Panama. On December 2 the ground was broken for the Temple. First, an office for the contractor was built, then neces-= sary 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 mine 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. Pinil- la and Vice-Pres. Vrutia, 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 publicati- on in the newspaper.

"There are on hand at the Cent-~ er'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-Baha'i, December 20, in Waialua, Oahu.

A Baha'i picnic was held in No- vember at Hapuna Beach Park on the

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

MAUL

Maui reports on the recent visit of "Seals & Crofts" music group, which includes Baha'i 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 Baha'i program at Mauna Olu College at- tended by over 200 people. The two sons of the college president have declared themselves Baha’is.

quirement carries a penalty of. possible fine and deportation. WAIALUA

The Baha'is of Waialua and Wa- hiawa hosted a cookout-fireside at the home of Mrs. Doris Dahlstrom in Haleiwa. About sixty Baha'is and friends were present and sat around a huge bonfire to hear principles of the Faith presented by Dr. Larry Beers. Mr. Al Raub- itscheck of Hong Kong was a visi- tor for the evening and spoke of the developing work of the Faith in his area. He outlined the dif- ficulties, sometimes amusing, en- countered when a Baha'i talk must

be translated into many different languages and dialects, thus il- lustrating the need for a univer-

sal auxiliary language.

The delicious supper was gener=- ously served by the Baha'is to their guests. The evening ended with Baha'i and other songs.

Children of the Sunday morning classes busy making flower. favors for distribution during Intercal- ary Days to patients in convalesc- ent homes.

[Page 8]8 EDITORIAL

Your "Light of the Pacific" staff always welcomes pictures of various people and events which

come in with reports from our com- munities. That most of the pic- tures are not used is due to a va- riety of reasons:

1. Pictures too small.

2. Colored pictures (do not re- produce 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 3% inches wide or, for im- portant events, 8% inches wide. Pictures must be glossy prints. Do try to get meaningful shots -- re- member, "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 prefer- ably fewer. This rule is excepted, of course, by shots of convention groups, etc.

Frequently, because they aré 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 interes- ted in the article? If not -- put it in your scrapbook and try again!

Mahalo, The Editors.
