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

From time to time local Spirit- ual Assemblies raise the question as to whether it is always neces- sary to vote on all decisions ar- rived at in consultation, whether unanimously or by the majority of the members. The following letter from the Universal House of Just- ice to the National Spiritual As- sembly of Canada, March 6, 1970,

YEAR 127

NO.57 HOUSE OF JUSTICE

clarifying this subject is quoted here for the guidance of local Spiritual Assemblies in Hawaii and the Trust Territory.

"It is important to realize that the spirit of Baha'i consultation is to arrive at a unanimous decis- ion. When this is not possible a vote must be taken. In the words of the beloved Guardian: '...when they are called upon to arrive at a certain decision, they should, after dispassionate, anxious and cordial consultation, turn to God in prayer, and with ¢arnestness and conviction and courage record their vote and abide by the voice of the majority, which we are told by the Master to be the voice of truth, never to be challenged, and always to be wholeheartedly enforced.'

"As soon as a decision is reached it becomes the decision of the whole Assembly, not merely of those members who happened to be among the majority.

"When it is proposed to put a matter to the vote,a member of the Assembly may feel that there are additional facts or views which

_ must be sought before he can make

up his mind and intelligently vote on the proposition. He should ex- press this feeling to the Assembly, and it is for the Assembly to de- cide whether or not further con- sultation is needed before voting.

"Whenever it is decided to vote on @ proposition all that is re- quired is to ascertain how many of the members are in favor of it; if this is a majority of those pres- ent, the motion is carried; if it is a minority, the motion is de- feated. Thus the whole question of

(cont'd. on p. 2) [Page 2]2

(cont'd. from p. 1)

‘abstaining’ does not arise in Ba- ha'i voting. A member who does not vote in favor of a proposition is, in effect, voting against it, even if at the moment he himself feels that he has been unable to make up his mind on the matter."

MARTHA ROOT

Miss Martha Root, whose days of service on earth ended Sept. 28, 1939, in Honolulu while a guest of Mrs. Kathryn Baldwin. Her passing significantly took place on an is- land between the eastern and west- ern continents; this great Baha'i heroine belonged to the world.

It would be impossible for the Baha'i world to trace in its full and rich detail her untiring serv- ices. In 1919, we find her visit- ing every important South American city. Possessing no Spanish or Portugese literature, and without speaking knowledge of these lang- uages, she was, with the help of translators, heard and read by thousands, and because of her, the first Baha'i booklet in Portugese

was prepared by Brazilians for publication. In Europe and Asia, thousands

heard her message, from the humbl- est firesides, to the palaces of royalty. To Thomas Masaryk, first president of the Republic of Czech-

oslovakia, Martha gave the Baha'i Teachings; and to King Faisal of Iraq; to Y.S. Tsao, president of

the Tsing Hua _ University, who translated many Baha'i writings in- to Chinese; to Prince Paul and Princess Olga of Yugoslavia; to Nishuama, head of the Board of Re- ligions of Japan; and to Queen Ma- rie of Rumania, of whose interview the Guardian himself wrote:

"One of the visible and potent effects which this historic in- terview proved capable of achie- ving was the remarkable appeal in the form of open letters which Her Majesty freely and spontaneously caused to be pub- lished to the world at large, testifying in a language of ex- quisite beauty to the power and sublimity of the Message of Ba- ha'u'liah."”

With what tenderness our hearts follow her on her journey of Octo- ber 1933 to Adrianople, where the Blessed Perfection had "planted a seed under every stone." Through her we are welcomed by the Gover- nor and Mayor. With her we kneel reverently in the Muradiyyih Mosque and sense "how far Baha'u'llah had come to meet our Western World." Through her eyes, many times tear- dimmed in that city we see the gentle Mustafa Big, who had been in the Presence of the Beloved and was able to tell us of His gardens, His house, His great generosity, and of the reverent esteem of His fellow citizens. Between the lines of Martha's gentle pen appears the persuasion of her own indelible impression upon Adrianople.

Martha even traveled to the out- posts of civilization. In 1935 she journeyed to Iceland, where a radio station turned over its News Hour to her dynamic message, and where newspapers printed for. the first time Baha'i utterances in Iceland- Les

A last touching tribute comes to us from the Baha'is of India and Burma, who, unaware of her approa- ching departure from this life wrote in their Convention report the news of her spiritual victories in the present year. "The most outstanding feature in the year under report has been the teaching activities of our beloved sister, Miss Martha L. Root. This star servant of Baha'u'llah toured from Bombay to Mandalay, and from Srin- agar to Colombo. Wherever she went , she delivered the Message of Baha'u'llah in her own convincing way and published the divine Cause amongst almost all the educated people of this great continent.... In Sindh she visited Karachi and Hyderabad. In Karachi she attended the tenth Convention of the Baha'is of India and Burma, and probably did the greatest service of her life. She stayed in that town for three months and got the book 'Ta- hirih, the Pure' printed and mailed the world over. It was here in this city that she met Sadaq Vis- wani and made a deep impression on the mind of that saintly man... In Simla she graced the first Baha'i Summer School of India and Burma with her presence and drew down the blessings of God on this insti- tution. In Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Sialkot, La- [Page 3]hore, hiama,

Amritsar, Jullundur, Lu- Delhi, Patiala, Alegarh, Lucknow, Allanhabad, Benares and Patna, she visited colleges and universities and delivered the Message of Baha'u'llah to students, professors, and intelligentsia of the universities of India.... Miss Root has opened the whole of India for us, and it now devolves upon us to so utilize these openings as to produce the best results."

American hearts retrospect the Divine bounty of such a life. Baha'i pioneers of the entire planet and more especi- ally those from among her own countrymen, find themselves’ the spiritual beneficiaries of one to whom ‘Abdu'l-Baha wrote:

today view in

"Thou art really a herald of the Kingdom and a harbinger of the Covenant and doest self-sacri- fice. Thou showest kindness to all nations; thou art sowing a seed that shall in the long run give rise to thousands of har-

vests; thou art planting a tree

that shall till eternity put

forth leaves, blossoms and

fruits, and whose shadow shall day by day grow in magnitude." (Baha'i News #131)

GUARDIANS LETTER

"CHIEF GOAL OF EVERY EDUCATION"

"With regard to the statement atttibuted to '‘Abdu'l-Baha and which you have quoted in your let-

ter regarding a "problem child;' these statements of the Master, however true in their substance,

should never be given a literal interpretation. ‘Abdu'l-Baha could have never meant that .a child should be left to himself, entire- ly free. In fact Baha'i education, just like any other system of edu- cation is based on the assumption that there are certain natural de- ficiencies in every child, no mat- ter how gifted, which his educat- ors, whether his parents, school

masters, or his spiritual guides

and preceptors should endeavor to remedy. Discipline of some sort, whether physical, moral or intel- lectual, is indeed indispensable, and no training can be said to be complete and fruitful if it disre- gards this element. The child when born is far from being perfect. It is not only helpless, but actually is imperfect, and even is naturally inclined towards evil. He should be trained, his natural inclina- tions harmonized, adjusted and con- trolled, and if necessary suppres- sed or regulated, so as to insure his healthy physical and moral de- velopment. Baha'i parents cannot simply adopt an attitude of non- resistance towards their children, particularly those who are unruly

and violent by nature. It is not even sufficient that they should pray on their behalf. Rather they

should endeavor to inculcate, gent- ly and patiently, into their youth- ful minds such principles of moral conduct and initiate them into the principles and teachings of the Cause with such tactful and loving care as would enable them to be- come ‘true sons of God" and develop into loyal and intelligent citi- zens of His Kingdom. This is the high purpose which Baha'u'llah Himself has clearly defined as the chief goal of every education."

(Letter from Shoghi Effendi to an

individual, July 9, 1939, and re- printed in September, 1969, Nat- ional Baha'i Review) [Page 4]4

BELOVED VISITORS

Hand of the Cause William Sears and his delightful wife arrived in Honolulu in the early morning hours on Sunday, September 6, and were enthusiastically greeted by about thirty of the friends. They were then escorted to their hotel

for a much-needed rest. The Sears have been traveling and teaching for the past 5% months, arriving

in Honolulu from Australia.

On Sunday afternoon they visi- ted Martha Root's grave, and then made a brief call on Hand of the Cause Miss Agnes Alexander at her residence in Arcadia Retirement Home.

On Sunday evening Mr. Sears had a dimer meeting at a local resta- urant with members of the NSA. of the Hawaiian Islands. Later he spoke at an all-Baha'i meeting at the National Haziratu'l-Quds, and told many fascinating, and some- times amusing, stories in connec - tion with his travels on behalf of the Faith.

On Monday Mrs. Sears few moments with the Baha'is at their Labor Day picnic at Ala Moana Park. In the evening both Mr. and Mrs. Sears attended the Feast of ‘Izzat at the Center. A very exciting addition to this meeting was an especially arranged "conference hook-up" via telephone with the friends on the outer is- lands, by which Mr. Sears was able to speak to them all simultaneous- ly.

The presentation of the amusing "teaching slides" of ani- mals and birds brought home to the believers many of their own

spent a

highly

failings, but in such a_ gently humorous view that it was most impressive.

The Honolulu Community is to

be commended for their gracious and competent hosting of both mee- tings, each of which was attended by nearly 250 persons.

The Editor muses: "I always in- voke the blessings of the Almighty before starting out in my car. I find it gives a wonderful lift to my spirit."

MICRONESIA REPORT

(Continued from our last issue)

After the breakfast we went ov- er to the meeting which was held in a Chinese restaurant. The morn- ing session flew by, with devotions, welcome greetings and Mr. Faizi's talk on "Human Knowledge." During the lunch break Mr. Faizi, Suhayl, Virginia and I met with the LSA of Guam. In the afternoon session, Suhayl covered the Baha'i Covenant - Bounties and Responsibilities of Believers, followed by the Role of Youth, which was presented in two sections; Teaching and Proclaiming the Faith, by Charlene Sooman, and Preparation of Youth for Their La- ter Years, by Joon Chung.

Everyone went his separate way during the dinner break to help round up contacts for the evening meeting which was held at the home of one of the friends. I went to the Bensons' home to be with Mrs. Faily and the children to await the arrival of Dick and Joy's con- tacts while they went after others. When they did not return in time, we set off in search of the home where the meeting was to be held. The only one who had been there before was one of the children,so with his directing, Mrs. Faily dri- ving and two cars of contacts fol- lowing us, we ..... arrived at the meeting. The home was packed with Baha'is and about 30 contacts, in- cluding the former Governor of Sa- moa, Mr. Aspennal and his wife, Anna Smithwick's parents who are from Nanakuli (Hawaii) but have been on Guam for about 17 years, and Rose Makwelung's son who is at- tending Guam University. During the evening Suhayl and I spoke with Joe Ilengelkei who works at the Guam University, and found out he is the son of a Palauan Chief, and that he would accompany Suhayl on a teaching trip there. All were enthralled with Mr. Faizi's talk and most of the contacts came the following afternoon to hear him a- gain.

At the Sunday meeting we dis- covered that Mr. Faizi had had a very restless night and was devel- oping a cold so had Dr. Joy Benson check him, and later that day she consulted another doctor. During [Page 5]the morning meeting Suhayl spoke on Nascent Institutions, while NSA representative Tracy Hamilton cov- ered Hawaii's Share of the Nine Year Plan - Homefront and Overseas. It was a privilege to announce the attainment of the Temple Site Goal which brought forth excited ap- plause. Virginia spoke on the Lo- cal Spiritual Assembly - Its Auth- ority and Its Responsibility. We kept stretching our time not know- ing if Mr. Faizi would be able to make the meeting, but we should have known better -- he was not going to disappoint anyone. The community had placed an ad in the morning paper and this, along with the other publicity, resulted in walk-in contacts and helped some of the Baha'is get their friends to attend. Gene Luna had _ two of his shipmates on hand for the mee- ting, and of course, Mr. Faizi's talk on "Standards and Values" evoked many questions.

Sunday evening was scheduled as an open Feast at which Mr. Faizi was to speak but we all tried to get him to rest. He finally agreed and we left it open that if he felt better he would join us later. There were contacts who came that evening, so devotions were held and Suhayl gave a short talk and we showed the film "The New Wind." We then left to get Suhayl ready for his plane back to Honolulu and upon our arrival at the hotel found Mr. Faizi outside, ready to go to the meeting. Virginia took him up to the meeting where several friends were still gathered and he gave each of them a memento. We took him back to his hotel as his flight was at 5 a.m. Monday. Then

we took Suhayl to the airport for a la.m. departure. We picked up Mr. Faizi at 4 a.m. and headed for the airport, only to be told that his plane was over an hour late. My hotel room was close by so he rested there until his departure which was about 8 a.m.

As you know by now, much sleep over the week-end but the spirit of the events kept us all going through Monday and into the Feast at 5 P.M., held at the home of Anna and Tom Smithwick. The Feast was charged with excite- ment when the friends shared the morning paper, which ran a follow- up picture of Mr. Faizi signing a book for Anna and Tom Smithwick, and Cynthia Olson. Ideas and plans

no one got

were presented during two hours of5 great consultation. Tom Smithwick and Doug Trail, both teachers at the University, and Joon Chung, a student there, had ideas for rea-

ching the college group. Olie showed a sketch for a _ proposed Center. No one wanted to leave. A

few stayed, including the Smith- wicks, Ken Ward, Gus Erickson and myself, talking until 3. a.m. We were spurred on when the Olsons returned and announced that after they left the Feast they stopped at Nina Gordon's home and _ she signed her card. The work put in

by all those mentioned as well as Barbara Briggs, Barbara Newhowser, Jane Trail, Katherine Lynch, whose husband Joe (both second-genera- tion Baha'is) taped the weekend meetings assisted by Len Sooman, made this a time never to be for- gotten by all present.

PREPARATION FOR YOUTH

(Continued from our last issue)

Praiseworthy moral conduct is surest evidence of spiritual de- velopment. Baha'u'llah says, "The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds. He whose words exceed his deeds knows verily his death is better than his life." 'Abdu'l-Baha says, "Let your actions speak to the world and be the cause of the progress of humanity," and again, '"There- fore strive that your actions day by day may be beautiful prayers. Turn towards God and seek always

to do that which is right and noble. Enrich the poor, ‘raise the fallen, comfort the sorrowful,

bring healing to the sick, reassure the fearful, rescue the oppressed, bring hope to the hopeless, shelter the destitute."" We should show deeds that are pure and holy and distinguish ourselves from others by our deeds.

Now aside from love for mankind we have love for God which requires love of whatever belongs to the heavenly world. It is the key to the Divine Kingdom. Baha'u'llah says, "O Son of Being, love me that

(cont'd. on p. 6) [Page 6]6

(cont'd. from p. 5)

I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant," and again, "O Son of Man, if thou lov- est Me, turn away from thyself and if thou seekest My pleasure regard not thy own, that thou mayest die in Me and I may live eternally in thee.’ We must detach ourselves from material things and loose our soul from the prison of self.

As for justice, Baha'u'llah says, "O Son of Spirit, the best beloved of all things in my sight is Justice. Turn not away there- from if thou desirest Me, and ne- glect it not that I may confide in thee ... Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving kindness. Set it then be- fore thine eyes."

Baha'u'llah reminds us to nev- er judge another person. Backbi- ting quencheth the lighting of the heart and extinguisheth the light of the soul. "0 Son of Man, breathe not the sins of others so long as thou art thyself a sinner ai a He also mentions that gos - sip degrades both him who speaks and him who listens.

The need for personal integri- ty is greatly stressed by Baha‘u'- llah. A good character is the best mantle for men from God. Trustworthiness is the greatest door to the security and tranqui- lity of mankind. "Abdu'1-Baha says, "The most vital duty in this day is to purify your characters, to correct your manners, and im- prove your conduct. The beloved of the Merciful must show forth such character and conduct among His creatures that the fragrance of their holiness may shed upon

the whole world, and may quicken the dead, inasmuch as the purpose of the Manifestation of God and the dawning of the limitless

Invisible is to ed- ucate the souls of men and refine the character of every living man." Truthfulness is the found- ation of a uman virtues; with- out in progress and successful- ness in all the worlds of God are impossible for any soul.

GIANT CALENDAR

The National Spiritual Assembly is planning to instal a ‘giant jot- ter’ calendar at the National Haz- iratu'l-Quds, listing all events going on within this area of jur- isdiction, for fast reference pur- poses and to avoid overlapping and duplication of events, Assemblies, committees, groups, etc., are re- quested to regularly forward to the NSA all information regarding scheduled future events, current regular events, Fairs (if you in- tend to have booths,) firesides, proclamation activities, teaching institutes, workshops -- just a- bout anything that is concerned with teaching the Faith. Send to 3264 Allan Pl., Honolulu, 96817.

EWA JD, OAHU

The Ewa Community sponsored a picnic as.an Aloha to _ three of their members who are leaving. The affair was held on August 29 at Aiea State Park. Those members separating from the Community are: Lesley Scheible, who has been ord- ered to duty on the carrier Kitty Hawk, Dennis Mills who is being transferred to duty at San Diego, and Cecil Kelly, who is moving to Idaho.

BAHA'I NEWS

Baha'i News subscriptions are again open, for new subscribers or renewals. Although we have been informed of an increase in price, this NSA will continue to accept subscriptions at the old rate of $2.50 per year. New subscriptions start with January 1971 issue. See your local secretary or send check or money order to NSA office NOW!

NEW GOAL

The National Goals Committee now has information on entry into the Gilbert & Ellice Islands, one of the new goals given to us by the Universal House of Justice. Please contact this Committee at 3264 Al- lan Place, or write the NGC Secre- tary, Mrs. S. Herbert, at R. R. l, Box 28-A, Lihue, Kauai, 96766.

BLOOD BANK

The NSA reports that the present status of our blood bank supply is 26 pints. One emergency could wipe out this supply. Two emergencies would find us in serious difficul- ty. It has been explained that wo pints are necessary for each pint used, as the second pint de- frays cost of "handling." Our ac- tual total is, therefore, 13 pints, which is woefully low for a commu- nity of our size.

Remember, you may donate to the Baha'i Blood Bank Reserve at any hospital by merely designatin that the donation is for the Bahai Reserve. DO IT TODAY!!

SCHOOL CALENDAR

The annual calendar showing all school holidays during the year has again been published in the local papers. All Baha'i.Holy Days are listed. (N.B. The few typo- graphical errors have . been noted and will be corrected.)

FIRST BAHA'I WEDDING

Baha'is and friends from all areas of Maui, from other islands, and from the mainland gathered in the midst of blooming flowers and a wooded area on August 20, 1970, to witness the lovely Baha'i cere- mony between Miss Debra Price and Mr. Christopher DeLance in Hosners Grove on the slopes of Haleakala.

The ceremony was preceded by the singing of songs and ballads by friends of the bride and groom. A picnic table was arrayed with wedding cake, decorations and food befitting the occasion.

After the ceremony all the friends formed a circle around the newly-wed couple, singing Baha'i songs and wishing them well.

WAIALUA

The Waialua Community has built an attractive redwood rack which has been placed in the popular Health Food Store in Haleiwa, for the distribution of Baha'i pamph- lets. [Page 8]8 NOTE
