The Universal House of Justice
Bahá’í World Center Haifa, Israel December 29, 1970
To the Believers in the Cradle of the Bahá’í Administrative Order
Dear Bahá’í Friends,
Your National Spiritual Assembly is, at this very time, taking urgent steps to acquaint each one of you with the serious condition of your National Fund, and we are sure that, as soon as you know of this situation, you will respond with the generosity and self-sacrifice that are characteristic of the American Bahá’í community.
The crisis in your National Fund has, in its turn. precipitated a crisis in the international funds of the Cause, because your National Spiritual Assembly has been unable to send more than a small proportion of the $600,000 which it had decided to contribute to the International Fund. The inability of your National Assembly to transmit this contribution to the Holy Land has caused us to drastically reduce expenditures in the international work of the Cause, as explained in the letter to the friends throughout the world, which is enclosed.
As the United States’ own mass teaching progresses, your National Fund will have to be expended increasingly on vital deepening and consolidation projects, for it is important that the new believers who are entering the community in such large numbers be rapidly integrated into the life of the whole. The administration of the Cause in the United States is entering a completely new phase, of high promise, challenging problems and golden opportunities. You are the cradle of the Administration, and in this development too you can become a pattern for the entire Bahá’í world. The essential requirement at this time is complete unity and whole-hearted support for your National Spiritual Assembly, both in action and in funds. Once again, the progress of the Cause throughout the world hangs largely on the response and singleminded devotion of the American followers of Bahá’u’lláh That they may arise with characteristic youthful fervor and trust in Almighty God is our ardent prayer at the Sacred Threshold.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
The Universal House of Justice

By now each believer will long have received his personal copy of the letter of December 29, 1970 from The Universal House of Justice addressed to the “Believers in the Cradle of the Administrative Order" and published in this issue of the NATIONAL Bahá’í REVIEW, as well as the letter addressed to the “Followers of Bahá’u’lláh in every land” as published in the accompanying issue of Bahá’í NEWS. Both convey a sobering message about the critical state of the international funds of the Faith at a time when enrollment by troops is gathering momentum in many countries. including the United States. and the demands upon the funds for consolidating the gains in expansion are greater than ever. The letters underscore the importance of the measure taken by our National Spiritual Assembly in December to impress upon the American community the spiritual significance of giving sacrificially and the overriding responsibility with which the great prosperity of our land challenges us in our relationship to our less fortunate sister communities around the world.
Although the low state of the funds provided the immediate motive for these letters from our supreme House of Justice, the deeper purpose of the letters lies in the the urgency with which the Message of the Promised One must now be taken by His loved ones to the waiting masses of humanity over whom grave dangers are hanging and the immediate challenges which they must face if they are to remain true to His mighty Covenant.
For the American believers these letters are another timely reminder of the inescapable fact that the progress of the Cause throughout the world depends largely upon their response to the ups and downs of a rapidly evolving Bahá’í community, because they constitute the cradle of the Administration which inevitably sets the pattern for their fellow workers in other countries. Undoubtedly the American believers must and will do their part in the full spirit of universal participation, which,is the only worthy response to a simple but poignant truth repeated in several messages from The Universal House of Justice: “The mighty ones of this world rejected the call of Bahá’u’lláh, and it is now upon us ordinary men and women that He has conferred the inestimable bounty of raising up the Kingdom of God on Earth. Service to God and His Cause is the heart of the life of every true believer and contributing to the Fund is a vital aspect of such service.”

Pioneering Institute of Wi/meffe House of Worship
“The most inspirational, yet sobering experience I have ever had.”
“I shall remember these days wherever I go.”
Such were the comments heard from those dedicated friends who braved winter’s snowy blanket to share the warmth and spirit of the latest Pioneering Institute. held in Wilmette, Illinois on December 27-31.
More than twenty believers from as far away as Alaska shared the glorious bounty of beginning each day’s activities with prayers in the Mother Temple of the West. Many of these had already said farewell to their homes and were leaving for their pioneering posts directly from the Institute. Yet another group were making plans to leave within the month.
Every facet of pioneering was discussed with classes on subjects as diverse as medical self—help. mass—teaching techniques. public relations abroad and a pioneer’s relationship to the administrative order.
In addition to the regular classes. the students were able to attend a Nineteen-Day Feast in nearby communities. thereby sharing the enthusiasm which was growing among them with the believers at the Feasts. They also had the privilege of hearing an address by the Secretary of the National Spiritual Assembly closing the Institute. the Institute.
These invitational Institutes are proving to be a most helpful method for orienting pioneers and more sessions are being planned for the near future.

“The Lord hath ordained that in every city a House of Justice be established wherein shall gather counsellors to the number

(From the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, quoted in Bahá’í Administration, p. 21)
. . These Spiritual Assemblies are shining lamps and heavenly gardens, from which the fragrances of holiness are diffused
over allregions, and the lights of knowledge are shed abroad over all created things. From them the spirit of life streameth in
every direction. They, conditions. ”—’Abdu ‘l-Baha
indeed, are

(Quoted in God Passes By, p. 332)
An URGENT appeal is being made for homefront settlers to assist in raising up their number of believers in order to insure the
continuation of the Institution.
How soon can YOU arise to save one of these divinely ordained local spiritual assemblies?
Deputize a Pioneer
“I would particularly direct my appeal to those American believers . . who may find it possible, whatever be their calling or employment . . . to establish permanently their residence in such countries as may offer them a reasonable prospect of earning the means of livelihood. Should they find it impossible to take advantage of so rare and sacred a privilege, let them, mindful of the words of Bahá’u’lláh, determine, each according to the means at his or her disposal, to appoint a deputy who, on that believer’s behalf, will arise and carry out so noble an enterprise.”
Deputization of a pioneer may be undertaken by an individual believer or a group of Bahá’ís, or even a
‘Advent of Divine Justice pp. 55-56.
community. A specific pioneer may be designated for deputizing or a contribution may be sent to the National Fund, earmarked for deputization. As the world situation worsens and nations are turning to nationalism as a fortress for their identity, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Americans to obtain work permits in many countries. The only way, then, for a pioneer to survive at his post is to be assisted by the Fund. Deputization by the friends helps to alleviate the burden this creates on our already short National Fund, and also provides an opportunity for fulfilling the injunction of Bahá’u’lláh to appoint one to carry His banner to the most remote parts of the earth.

3/19 Cariédean Oceanic Con/erence anal f/Le C}/Larfer-er! Sdi/0
Some questions have arisen about the decision of the National Spiritual Assembly to charter a ship for those believers planning to attend the forthcoming oceanic conference in Kingston. Jamaica—one of the eight continental and oceanic conferences announced by The Universal House of Justice in its message to the Bahá’í world at Riḍván 1969. We can think of no better way of replying than to refer to the letters from that supreme Institution in which the following excerpts can be found.
—The international scene will witness the holding of oceanic conferences forecast by Shoghi Effendi. The first one will be held during August 1968 on an island in the Mediterranean Sea to commemorate Bahá’u’lláh's voyage upon that sea, a hundred years before, from Gallipoli in Turkey to the Most Great Prison in ‘Akká. In the subsequent years of the Nine Year Plan, others will be held in the Atlantic Ocean, in the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. (Wellspring of Guidance, p: 66)
—As a stimulus and aid to this vital work as well as to the promotion of all the goals of the ‘Plan, we announce the holding between August 1970 and September 1971 of a series of eight Oceanic and Continental Conferences. . . . (Riḍván 1969 Message)
—We call upon all National Assemblies to encourage attendance at the Conferences (Letter dated June 7, 1970)
The Universal House of Justice has written to all National Spiritual Assemblies in recent months, listing the locations of these conferences, showing the areas from which the principal representation should come, and calling upon these Assemblies to encourage attendance at the Conferences. The American believers have been requested especially to support the Caribbean Conference in Kingston, Jamaica—May 21-23, 1971; the North Atlantic

Oceanic Conference in Reykjavik, Iceland—~September 3-5; and the North Pacific Oceanic Conference in Sapporo, Japan—September 3-5, 1971.
Chartering the ship, “New Bahama Star,” for 11 days. May 17-28, has made the following objectives attainable: providing the least expensive means of encouraging the largest possible attendance by American believers at the Caribbean Conference; picking up fellow believers from Puerto Rico and from the Leeward, Windward, and Virgin Islands, who could notptherwise afford to attend this conference, which was called specifically to stimulate the Bahá’í work in their area; creating opportunities for a wide and effective proclamation of the Message at several ports; providing living accommodations for the duration of the Conference which otherwise would not be available in Kingston at moderate cost for a large number of attendants. Furthermore, we intend to grasp the precious opportunities afforded by the travel interim to and from the Conference to hold intense pre- and post—Conference institutes aboard ship. As can be seen, this whole arrangement is designed to be a concerted program for the proclamation, expansion, and consolidation of the Cause and must not be confused in the minds of the friends with the extravagance characteristic of overindulgent pleasure cruises to the Caribbean islands.
In referring to the decision of the National Spiritual Assembly to charter the ship, The Universal House of Justice wrote recently: “We hope that the 400 American believers will be able to significantly and favorably influence the impact of the Conference through their Bahá’í spirit and conduct, their strong interracial composition and, hopefully, the presence in their midst of a large contingent of Negroes from the southern states." NATIONAL SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY
Persian Bahá’ís Must Present Credentials
From time to time Persians claiming to be Bahá’í's appear in-Bahá’í communities without any credentials from either their local or National Spiritual Assembly in Iran. Before being permitted or invited to participate in Nineteen-Day Feasts or other activities, these persons must produce official evidence that they are registered Bahá’ís in Iran. This is in accordance with the repeated instructions from the beloved Guardian and The Universal House of Justice.
Occasionally the National Spiritual Assembly receives advance official information that Persian Bahá’ís are coming to the United States. Such information is held until word has been received that they have arrived and have a United States address. Therefore any questions about the Bahá’í status of individuals from Iran claiming to be Bahá’ís should be referred to the National Spiritual Assembly before they are accepted as members or visitors in the Bahá’í community. A well-grounded Persian Bahá’í is well aware of this instruction and takes no offense when he is asked to produce his official credentials and is not invited to Nineteen-Day Feasts until they are in hand.

Mrs. May Stebbins Passes
A devoted believer since the year 1919, Mrs. May Stebbins passed away in Arizona in October. She first heard of the Faith in 1917, and was one of a group in Urbana. Illinois who came into the Faith from a Unitarian Church.
Mrs. Stebbins received one Tablet from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. In 1922 she moved with her family to Madison, Wisconsin where she helped to establish the Assembly. She made the Pilgrimage to Haifa in 1926 and met the Guardian and members of the family of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
She was a trained librarian and made a catalogue of all the Bahá’í' books. This she gave to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States along with her complete library which is to be used at the National headquarters as a part of the National Reference Library. She indexed the Bahá’í News from December 1924 to December 1957 She also made a compilation on the Covenant.
In 1949, after her husband's retirement, they moved to Menlo Park, California, and helped to establish the Assembly there. In 1967 she moved to Tucson, Arizona. She was active to the last, attending as many conventions and conferences as she could. including the World Congress in 1963 in London and the Conference in Chicago in 1967 at the age of ninety-two.
Members of her family are active Bahá’ís; a daughter.
Mrs. Theodore A. Dodge; a grand-daughter, Miss Janet Dodge is a Bahá’í pioneer in La Plata, Argentina.
Mrs. Zylpha Mapp Gray Passes
> Mrs. Zylpha Mapp Gray ascended to the Abhá Kingdom from her home in Springfield, Massachusetts on December 8. Born in Boston on October 7, 1890, she was the first black female graduate of Plymouth High School. She became a Bahá’í in Cambridge in 1917, and was active around the Boston area, including being Secretary of the Boston Spiritual Assembly for many years.
Through her home passed many of the early believers whose names are legendary to us today. Especially interested in promotinng the oneness of mankind, she and Hand of the Cause Louis Gregory worked together a number of times on Race Amity Programs. and among her proudest possessions was a letter from Shoghi Effendi in 1933 encouraging her to devote her life to the bringing together of the races.
She moved to Springfield in 1960, where she spent her remaining years working ceaselessly for the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh. For many of these years, her home was the Springfield Bahá’í Center. She went on Pilgrimage in 1964.
Mrs. Gray is survived by five children and many grand and great—grandchildren. One daughter, Zylpha, is pioneering in Uganda. Many of the friends attended her funeral on December 12, and also amemorial service on December 16.

The Bahá’í World, Vol. XIII. An international record covering the years 1954-1963., prepared under the supervision ofTheInternational House of Justice.
This volume covers most of the years of the Ten Year Crusade which began in 1953 and the wide. international expansion of the Faith during that period. An outstanding feature is the article “The Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith,” by Amatu’l-Bahá Buhiyyih I_(_h_énum. with many precious photographs of Shoghi Effendi from early childhood to shortly before his passing in 1957.
The Bahá’í World contains a statement on the aims and purposes of the Bahá’í Faith: a survey of its world activities during the specified period: selections from the Bahá’í Sacred Writings: an international directory; a bibliography of literature in all languages: tributes by

The Story of Child's Way
CHILD’S WAY has its own history; it has evolved both in content and makeup. Starting in 1943 under the National Child Education Committee, Mrs. Amy B. Dwelly. was selected to serve as the first editor and carried the work forward for eight years. The name chosen for the publication, THE CHlLD‘S WAY, had within it a wisdom which gradually became apparent.
In 1955, a new Child Education Committee appointed an editorial committee of five to carry on the responsibility for what Amy Dwelly called "our baby." The mimeographed sheets gave way to printed pages, a subscription fee was charged, six pages became eight, but the basic intention remained the same — to serve parents. teachers and children of all ages.
Through consultation with Mr. Carl Scheffier, beloved Bahá’í and art teacher, the committee developed a philosophy of education: how were we to avoid putting this “new wine into old bottles”? We needed 8 yardstick for measuring what was suitable to the new climate in education. The “Philosophy” became our yardstick. The article “The” was restored to the name of the magazine for it was revealed that it had importance for making clear that anything we did for children had to be according to the child’s way.
The editorial staff gradually dwindled to two, Mrs. Janet Kaye and Mrs. Jean Hutchinson, and finally. in the last few years to Mrs. Hutchinson.
The January, 1968 edition of the magazine marked a milestone in the evolution of CHlLD’S WAY. Under the direction of its new editors, Mildred and David Lepard, the focus shifted from a parent oriented philosophy to one more child centered. The size of the magazine was reduced to its present 7” x 10". Additional pages were added. It became more fully illustrated. It was decided that the purpose of the magazine would be to provide Bahá’í oriented materials, games, stories, poems. songs and puzzles that would appeal to children of all ages.
