TO ALL PIONEERS!

November 29, 1970 To All Pioneers -

Dearly-loved Friends:

The spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion that has animated so large a number of the followers of Baha'u'llah to_ leave their homes, move to posts far and near, to fo-= reign lands and on the homefronts, to hoist the banner of the Faith and promote the divine teachings in well-nigh every populated area of the globe, uplifts our hearts and evokes our profound pride and admiration. We are now entering the most challenging and crucial closing period of the Nine Year Plan, that will culminate in the joyous celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the revelation of Baha'u'llah's Most Holy Book, the Kitab-i-Aqdas. What greater gift can we lay at the feet of our be- loved, at that historic moment , than the proclamation of Victory in His Name!

Our deep appreciation of the vital role which the pioneers play in the onward march of the Army of Light towards victory arouses in us the desire to comfort their hearts, upraise their spirits, and strengthen their loins by calling to their minds the stirring appeal which flowed from the Pen of 'Ab- du'l-Baha,

"O that I could travel, even though on foot and in the utmost poverty, to these regions, and, raising the call of Ya-Baha‘u‘'l- Abha in cities, villages, moun- tains, deserts and oceans promote the divine teachings! This, alas, I cannot do. How intense- ly I deplore it! Please God, ye may achieve it ...".

and the following words of guidance from our beloved Guardian:

"Theirs, at this present hour, unpropitious and unpromising

though the immediate prospects may appear, is the duty to plod on, confident and unsparing in their daily efforts, undimmed in their vision, alert and conscious of the sublimity of their call- ing and of the future glory of their mission, undistracted by the petty pursuits. and tempta- tions of the environment in which they live, exerting their utmost and playing, each independently, as well as through their concer-

ted efforts, their part in haste ening the advent of the day when

their dearly beloved Faith will,

at long last, have revealed the

full measure of its potentiali-

ties, and soared, as destined by

Providence, to new heights of

power, eminence and glory."

"It is hard for the friends to (cont. on p. 2) [Page 2]2 (cont. from p. 1)

appreciate, when they are isola- ted in one of these goal terri-

tories, and see that they are making no progress in teaching others, are living in inhospit-

able climes for the most part, that they represent a force for good, that they are like a light- house of Baha'u'llah shining at a strategic point and casting its beam out into the darkness. This is why he (Shoghi Effendi) so consistently urges these pio-

neers not to abandon’ their posts."

"However gigantic the task may be, no matter how insuperable the obstacles standing in the way of its accomplishment may appear, and however restricted

the means, capacity, and numbers of those called upon to ensure its fulfillment, it surely can- not, by virtue of the divine po- tency with which it is charged, but be successfully achieved in due time. God's redemptive grace, flowing through the small yet infinitely wonderful band of His faithful servants will, as in the days past, gradually per- meate the world, and infuse into the consciousness of peoples and nations alike the realization that nothing short of the Divine panacea He Himself has prescribed can due the ills now so sadly afflicting the whole of mankind. What higher privilege therefore, than to be the instrument, the channel for the transmission of such divine grace. Let us’ then take courage, and faithfully pur- sue our mission, amd rest ever assured that the promised day of victory, foretold by Baha'u'llah as marking the Golden Age of His Cause, will dawn upon us and upon a world as yet umconscious of the divine potency of His Mes- sage."

And finally from the Glory Itself:

Pen of

"They that have forsaken their country for the purpose of tea- ching our Cause -- these shall the Faithful Spirit strengthen through its power. A company of Our chosen angels shall go forth with them, as bidden by Him Who is the Almighty, the All-Wise. How great the blessedness’ that awaiteth him that hath attained

the honor of serving the Almigh- ty: By My life! No act, how- ever great, can compare with it, except such deeds as have been ordained by God, the All-Power- ful, the Most Mighty. Such a service is, indeed the prince of all goodly deeds, and the orna- ment of every goodly act. Thus hath it been ordained by Him Who is the Sovereign Revealer, the Ancient of Days."

To each and every one of you we send our love and assurance of our prayers on your behalf in the Holy Shrines.

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

CONSOLIDATION AND EXPANSION

"The unsophisticated people of the world -- and they form the large majority of its population - - have the same right to know of the Cause of God as others. When the friends are teaching the Word of God they should be careful to give the Message in the same sin- plicity as it is enunciated in our teachings. In their contacts they must show genuine and divine love. The heart of an unlettered soul is extremely sensitive; any trace of prejudice on the part of the pion- eer or teacher is immediately sensed.

"When teaching among the masses the friends should be careful not to emphasize the charitable and humanitarian aspects of the Faith as a means to win recruits. Exper- ience has shown that when facili- ties such as schools, dispensaries, hospitals, or even clothes and food are offered to the people being taught, many complications arise. The prime motive should always be the response of Man to God's Mes- sage, and the recognition of His Messenger. Those who declare them-=

MICRONESIA REPORT

(Conclusion)

The seaplane ride to Truk was smooth and the time went fast. As we approached the landing strip it seemed more suitable to land on in this smaller prop job than the jet. After gathering my luggage, I won- dered how I was going to carry ev- erything to the hotel until a fel- low passenger offered me a ride. When I arrived at the hotel I dis- covered no reservation had been received for me. Again, a fellow passenger came to my aid by offer- ing to share his room.

Once settled, we walked over to the radio station to meet Dechuo Jain, who works there. I was told he had left for the day but they would put ina call over the air for him to meet me at the hotel. Later that evening Dechuo came by and we spent several hours discus- sing Truk and the Faith. We were to meet the following day to get together with the friends but we were unable to do so as his wife was hospitalized. We did put a call on the radio for all the friends to meet on Monday night at Stem and Yoneko Salle's home. We went to the hospital to see Yoneko at work and confirm the plans. We tried to locate a projector to show the film but no one would lend one out.

On Monday evening Dechuo met at the hotel and after trying un- successfully to find a taxi, we walked the two miles to the meet- ing. The night was beautiful and I felt as though we were in another world as we passed huts and houses lighted by lanterns, and saw the evening meal being prepared over

open fires, with voices drifting3 out of the dense foliage - passing the out-houses built over the wa- ter's edge,with pigs in their pens right next to them.

We arrived at Salle's and were met by Yoneko, introduced to the children and various members of the family, and also met Yonemachu Sapong and his wife. We all sat on the lauhala mat and shared cookies and the message of the Faith by light of a Coleman lantern. The group decided they would like to have three pamphlets that were translated into Trukese presented to the Chief. They asked me if I would make the appointment and those that could would accompany me. After hearing of the radio program on Ponape, they asked if we could try to do one on Truk. Our plans having been made, we re- ataathy departed as the hour was

ate.

I wondered later if I should have shared the knowledge of the Air Micronesia group and their in- ability to meet with the Chief on a mutual business venture, but de- cided I had done the right thing in not dampening their enthusiasm. So the following day I met Dechuo at the radio station, got the books from him, and met with the station manager to request the radio in- terview. He said it was possible but he would have to let me know the following day. We then walked up the hill to the newspaper of- fice and met the two writers, a Peace Corps husband and wife team, who had heard of the Faith ina college in the midwest. They said they would use our story in the next issue.

Wednesday dawned bright and beautiful and we set off for the mayor's office. The sights along the way were like something out of a story book --with rusting hulls of Japanese boats on the reef, and the many and various-shaped islands floating peacefully in the dist- ance. On the other side of the road we passed groups of women, sitting chattering, weaving fans and hats, with little naked child- ren playing alongside. Here and there, small as well as large quon- set huts dotted the landscape as we passed the business district.

Then on the oceanside loomed the rock building we had been told

(Cont. on p. 4) [Page 4]4

was the Chief's office, he also being the mayor of Truk. We were greeted by a portly young woman

who said she was his secretary and daughter. She told us her father was at his office at the trading company and I could see him there. We backtracked down the road to the quonset hut and were directed upstairs. There sat a man two- finger typing in Trukese and I ap- proached him with the request to meet His Honor the Mayor, Chief Petrus Mail®. He said that was he. The request for a meeting was made and he granted the appointment for 4:00 P.M. that afternoon. We half flew, half floated back to share the news with the other friends and make the final arrangements for all to be there. As it turned out, no one could keep the appoint- ment so, armed with the three books they had inscribed in Trukese from the local Baha'i Community (I added an inscription on behalf of the NSA of Hawaii) camera over my shoulder, I met with the Chief and presented to him "Communion with God," "God's Great Plan" and "What Is A Baha'i?" About 45 minutes were spent with the Chief, who asked many questions and agreed to pose for a picture, and when we took our leave he said his office would always be open to the Baha'is because he felt, from ogr talk, that the Baha'i Faith could help his people.

As if this were not enough of a bounty, when we later arrived at the radio station to get the ver- dict on our requested air time, the station manager said it was approved for a half hour, to be taped with Dechuo conducting the interview. We immediately started work on the material Dechuo felt should be covered and did the ses- sion in English for fifteen min- utes, then Dechuo translated into Trukese for the final fifteen min- utes. The following day prior to my departure we made the rounds to say goodbye to the friends and while at the radio station, the manager said he had heard the tape and had decided to play it that night as well as replay it on both Saturday and Sunday. We also learned that this would be the first time the Baha'i Faith had been proclaimed on the Truk air waves.

HOMEWARD BOUND

It was with mixed emotions that I boarded the jet for home. How does one collect his thoughts to express the exhilaration of the past two weeks? The frustration of wanting to do something to lift these beautiful people into. the advantages of the modern conveni- ences we take for granted -- with electricity on the islands next to nil -- the migration from the smal- ler islands to the larger ones in quest of jobs and a better way of life, only to end up huddled eight to twenty ina one or two room shack, being supported by the ones who got there first -- yet, their very way of life is helping the

next person to get started ina new place. Is this not part of the good life? The educational

system, which only a small handful complete -- yet, won't these few be able to help many more? The language barrier, such as on Pona- pe where there are five native tongues spoken -- but most of the immigrants have learned Ponapean as a universal language. The tri- bal animosities and the separation between men and women. The comb- ination of the old religions of Prophets long forgotten with that of the various Christian sects.

Perhaps this was our Hawaii 100 years ago. Then one remembers those who saw "The New Wind," both Baha'is and contacts ....their joy and interest that there were other people just like themselves around the world, the Navajo in America, the villages in India and Japan... people with one foot in the mater- ial time of past with the other foot stepping into the present.... and then comes the thought of how easy it was for these islanders to understand the principles of the Faith and their desire to know more. Yes, somehow we will find those pioneers to help guide them. Their request was for couples, or better still, couples with child- ren, to arise to the call, to not only teach them of the Faith but to show them how to teach. You now know how best they can be helped.

REMEMBER THE PANAMA TEMPLE FUND [Page 5]YOUTH CONFERENCE

Pohakuloa State Park on the Big Island was the setting for the Winter Youth Conference held from December 26 through 30, 1970.

Dr. Claude Caver, ABM, gave the opening address and spoke of the relationship of the individual to Baha'i adminstration.

On Sunday morning Miss Gertrude Garrida discussed the teachings regarding spiritualism, psychic phenomena and related subjects and explained that the Writings ex- pressly forbid tampering with these matters.

In the afternoon she elaborated on the compilation entitled "Engage- ment , Love, Marriage, Divorce, and Sex," according to Baha'i teach- ings.

Miss Garrida also stressed the importance of referring to specif- ic information in the Writings and where such information found. It was also brought out that it is of paramount importance to quote from the Writings when giving information rather than falling into the "he said," etc.

Throughout the remainder of the session the youth inevitably asked "Where is it in the Writings?" This day was truly enlightening and all present learned many new things.

The next day started with adis- cussion of "Living the Life," by EIahe Vahdat, during which she pointed up the importance of con- sultation and the Baha'i Feast.

Eliot Merk lead the afternoon session with an excellent discus- sion of the Baha'i Fast, Naw Ruz, Ridvan, Intercalary Days and rela- ted topics.

That evening Duane and Stephanie Troxel showed their slides of pil~ grimage and travels in Africa. Jack Spock spoke on the Baha'i viewpoints on war and civil obedi- ence. Leonard Freidberg discussed the Central Figures of the Faith, using many excerpts from the Writ- ings.

The special and tiring task of preparing the meals was marvelous- ly handled by Elahe Vahdat, Arlene Miller, Michelle Murray and Mia McCarter. All who attended the

PONAPE

A report has just been received telling of the success of the Pon- ape Teacher Training Institute held there from December 31, 1970 through January 5, 1971.

It tells of the need for Baha'i teachers to go out to the villages as many Ponapeans are ready to ac- cept the Faith. It is recommended that young men who can adapt to tra- vel and village conditions would

probably be most suited to this field. Two enrollments highlighted

the Institute -- Mr. Desiwo Inek Jack, the first Pingelapese to declare, and Mr. Irving J. Makwel-

-ung, a Kusaien.

UN Day and World Peace Day were both observed with special pro- grams and good publicity and at- tendance.

Dr. R. Muhajir attended the Teaching Conference and helped promulgate a three-month teaching plan.

Mr. R. Mumtazi and Mr. Vicente Samaniego attended the Inaugura- tion Conference at the newly-built Haziratu'l-Quds in Cajel, Nueva Viscaya.

Teaching teams from Dumaguete, Iloilo, Cebu and Manila opened six new communities in the Visayan Is- land, and welcomed 31 new believ- ers.

With the coming of the Tagabile tribe in Cotabato, Mindanao, the number of new believers in that area has reached 557.

Many youths attending the Moun=- tain State Agricultural college in Baguio are becoming interested in the Faith. New declarees are enthusiastically using vacation times for teaching trips.

Sixty active teaching members of the first Baha'i Club are bringing joy to the Palawan Narra High School district.

The "Husayn Team" of Los Banos, Laguna, is busy on many teaching trips.

Twelve new areas ened in Quezon Province, total of 72 new believers.

For the month of December, a total of 524 new believers have been recorded; 162 in Luzon, 23 in Visayas, 349 in Mindanao and Pala- wan.

OATH TAKING

"Regarding taking oaths, there is nothing in the Teachings on this subject. As a Baha'i is en- joined by Baha'u'llah to be truth- ful, he would express his truth- fulness, no matter what the forma- lity of the law in any local place required of him. There can be no objection to Baha'is conforming to the requirements of the law court whatever they may be in such mat- ters, as inno case would they con- stitute in any way a denial of their own beliefs as Baha'is." (The Guardian, to the NSA of the

Br. Isles, July 11, 1956) [Page 8]

(Cont'd. from p. 2)

elves as Baha'is should become enchanted with the beauty of the teachings, and touched by the love of Baha'u'llah. The declarants need not know all the proofs, his- tory, laws, and principles of the Faith, but in the process of decla- ring themselves they must, in ad- dition to catching the spark of the Faith, become basically in- formed about the Central Figures of the Faith, as well as the exis- tence of laws they must follow and an administration they must obey.

"After declaration, the new be- lievers must not be left to their own devices. Through correspond- ence and dispatch of visitors, through conferences and training courses, these friends must be pa- tiently strengthened and lovingly helped to develop into full Baha'i maturity. The beloved Guardian, referring to the duties of Baha'i assemblies in assisting the newly declared believer, has written:

"...the members of each and every

assembly should endeavor, by their patience, their love, their tact and wisdom, to nurse, subsequent to his admission, the newcomer in- to Baha'i maturity, and win him over gradually to the unreserved

acceptance of whatever has been ordained in the teachings." "Expansion and consolidation

are twin processes that must go hand in hand. The friends must not stop expansion in the name of con- solidation. Deepening the newly enrolled believers generates trem- endous stimulus which results in further expansion. The enrollment of new believers on the other hand, creates a new spirit in the community and provides additional . potential manpower that will rein- force the consolidation work."
