Our car trains Rogie Rivers. Sure, there were 26 of us. Remember after year that riverbed that really mean ever running and unsure of Baha'i? Well, I really pray we're all raised. Poor relativist out as we read in seaweed. Staying out, Harry. Or so you read the tablet visitation with Baha'i today, the first thing we all like to be children to do on he was removes First year, we all really about the job at least once during that, that kind of over the next one. And I never got a beautiful feeling have under visitation of the hole and very preposterous. Those tiles on the ground letter, that powerful, powerful prayer. Every president of this all doing Iran really broke you our conference chamber in the mansion. And every evening, um, perhaps six o'clock or so we were all going into the bedroom Baha'i on matters of room that the girl didn't work. It changed. It was the only room that I didn't have any electricity, sugar. They only wanted bad room to stay. Just as itwas bring Baha'i. When I was there, seven were brutal, rare and bam allies was a masters. I was wrong about center over to the wall, closed at B side over There is a little wooden table and top it. It was a cooler and every other word over the first to go in and she would let a match and right that wrong and ruin the rest of us are committed. And there were even going to do with perhaps happen our longer a prayer. And those were very special. And I remember feeling a passerby usually praying Well, it was different for me. It was great. There is a quality about you about him. Well, we resist Bruce and see what is right after you write books. Tabriz arrest for ever. You root for seven years. I'm just a regular sea. Never bet on this is a broader boat by my teeny absolute joy at having Dr Herman. Dr. Really? I just remember saying that they were very glad to have a big case revert that they would come again another day going to speak. I have been using Liberation Group, another institution university, playing a very important and I'm going to tell you about it. But before I do, I have seen the reverse room must be at number hires who have early being behind In the last few years, the last several years. Be talking about something you you perhaps still anything above? I'm going broke back into the U. S. History, past or many years just touching a little bit on this one subject in which has used very much and did ready for work. I'm going to relax to the year 1921. I don't think there Maybe you were in the face at that time here. But that was weird when lover master happy Baha'i died and certainly never hears ghosts and determine value right here. 1920 run until remember. Sure they are. And he was a really in guidance of God and I would talk about it first in sound dirty. I heard Miller's room don't really understand that. And every time it's Miller was here, do you understand? What in terre abilities and just a terrorist? I have a notion just a little bit about that and about overtime with, uh and then surely it today. All right, believer anew. The entire a little guidance in there to see in the booth there were dying. Every 30 did having to do with same you may not understand, So I will give you two examples Forever run of my brothers that were strugglers bruise their actions to build a temple, Um, and certainly wrote the National spiritually said Live North East Africa, severing to fire the property. I wish we could. So they have a stretcher rather than with me of Cairo and on either side of the river. And they left him down and they couldn't find a single spot and for a rope to guide and said they were disappointed they were hard problem because they couldn't find the base when they had just bring it. And so should your cable back persist? Sure, So they they started over again. They went up and down the river that had a real estate agent, and they couldn't find any place and tell you they care. But again, they said they're hard for this little place. Absolutely. So show me your back and what do you think? He said? He said persists. Sugar started all over again with Booth, but we're running from the Red River, and finally this urgent said, you know, just just isn't gonna be any place we could give you about every place that does answer the reprisals. It's just that right in that very mature. It has one drawback. And Trevor, bad drawback I sent you were written diet. So these fellas said, Well, what's wrong when he said this property is a way underwater. Looks like the spot and there was nothing to three people. And it's a requirement to some extent for surrenders to the government. Decide after their surprise. They got cable back, right? Sure, everyone. Over seven years I knew it was there. I didn't I wait. River's changed like a little Akka. Never last very winter. We had this beautiful spot that really way. The rest happened with Rex were they're a lesser who is the Prime minister he rode. We decided we were going to have a scenic highway right down the river. Survival holy the river. Very equipment, everything. Every started plowing and drinking. And before any room, proper hours have made a beautiful smart for campus. Every everything deference I can tell you about that. That generated is brought in paradise. Remember the National Assembly? And one thing the guardian gave us is our first seven year plan. It was a year. We have to have some Baha'i. Really? And it was really getting to me. We inquired. We were told that crewmember is property. And what is it? Close. You're really you're gonna get it? Is that nobody was around. Everyone quiet about this really better Arriving every morning Timer made a blunder from you. Never got around saying you do free here. You're sorry. The seven. We were kind of pioneering work, so But you seem a little little progressive. Tall green, right? Every road to spread right through your show. The Vendee there was little chance of doing anything any being. They were never certain. And there's nothing they can't get out. And there's nothing we can do. And remember nobody should I have to do is take the first step And where the bodies are happy with other steps way that that still applies. Just take the first step in anything Any of our teaching work. Girl were threatening us. Rest of it. So we're back to serve your payment Said they show you any We find it hard to believe that everybody do what you say. And so we wrote a resident to Roberta in Copenhagen. Remember? When you were running? She was a pioneer from you from America in the United States, and he's been there about six months and she die River there to work on a terrible retention, severe and her and interesting if she could help you. And she wrote back and said, Thank you for the compliment, but I can read She said, I don't care for six You really came. I don't really about a I don't speak. The language is nothing I could do. And I ask you, please, pretty for me for resurface after hearing this area, and we're really ready to work, to pray for her and do anything. Rises. We had a reading from saying that strange sort of happened. She read out of her apartment, Brian afternoon, and she met a woman reputed to be L. And she went to her and firmed this whenever he needed something, as you asked if she could help her if she said, You just get me a cup of tea. So she took her ID. Her 50 Gaston roar That's right and talk to her. Rest delivers us spoon rat ruling. Turn up to be your love to be the sister of the right of way. Well, I happen to be going over to Europe and extra. I ripped her earlier and she was She was pretty and frying behind. She became a Baha'i very and then she near everybody firmly government because of her sister in Copenhagen. So she are rare for me had this type of treatment, another through their lace men in the in the union and the department and the turnover they say it's a surprise to you that you were we get somebody. I am your hand, but absolutely impossible with Remember, you're just cannot be silent. It can't be that I wouldn't say anything, but I like saying, My dear friends, you don't do something about the way they're already had the brothers to take the first step. We're having a meeting and behind came from many different countries around other 45. So I told her the story of how a rest after Cambrian, however so anxious to get arena ever really glad that I can get and to make a long story short, you, Gunny Golders compete and I really had to do was take a breath step and Iraq they're better for availability. I wish I had time to tell you some more because their eyes beautiful stories, this subject. But at least you will hear it because I'm going out for a second. Are this talking about tal ability? Comes Everett, um, guiding Before he left just before you, I wrote a letter behind of the river. It's his last. Finally, we're gonna run this death, and this is the highest of the world. And he he called from England for us to have, um, trial conference. Government conferences were in power and Chicago on different places. Any adventure, Carter? Everything with private things around the river. And then it was in that last message that he reigned his fire a contingent of hands with cause. And that contention Patterson billions. He was right. And your friends in the back, he was. And so we were all very happy about that. But wait. We know, sir, I happen to be in that contention. To wait two and therefore is is in it. And people you know them all the way. We did the guy die. That letter was a turban. He died, remember? And we're going to run to excuse accident. But this time there were 27 in range on after funeral ever 26. There was a rude person career. True, we'll make. It was not about to go shooting almost 100 years of age. So she didn't she river there. But 26 of this red alert your faith from have to gradually and here is very head Our first and that really lasted for three on. But we have it every year on generally total, lasting for perhaps two weeks. Sometimes everybody math by this she stewards of the embryo way didn't know So then every word, uh, seated around this big rectangular table 26 7 And the first thing we realized waas that the son of a spoon in lease and several spoke person and the person most persons couldn't speak English and I think none of the English could spook prison. So we were stuck. And it was then we learned to our job round person, using what in both languages. And so Abbas safety There were only two really carried through this terrible job Charles Looting are now. Here's where I come to a river place that I let too sure about. But I'll tell you what. It's all about. And that is that, um as we sat around this table for three weeks. You know, sometimes I meet friends of mine complained when they have to meet for two or three days in assembly meeting are perhaps believing, and they find that terrorist Randers. But just let them have meat for three weeks with 26 people, it's totally different languages. It's quite something. And it was November and very cold in that room to really three's got on towards the latter part of the afternoon, so but you knew he would get up and we would listen. And that effort time he would transfer back to us in the other language. And then he would do that, perhaps for another hour and then things he would take history. You would stand up and I see him standing there, Florida and give you a back. Now I want to tell you that I have told this story a number of times and here with him in the our champion, saying that he didn't want any done because some people can move mistakes when they're giving a talk like this. Because I know that in telling the story, I have said what? I usually would start in there for as long as 20 minutes. And you were taking it all in one. He you're back in the other language, and we're do this again and again and again. 20 minutes. I, uh uh I have said that I went to one of the other the hands who spoke with languages and said, How much you mean to you? And he says, You're doing every road. There's nothing missed. These men will translate that. I had a feeling just three weeks ago. Really loves coming to give this out here today I phoned a normal friend of ALS. Friend of yours, Bill. Serious. I said, Bill, you know, you know that businessman Faizi, and usually you would stand up translating for about 20 minutes. He said, 20 minutes. I said Yes. Oh, no. Five minutes way, said John, You're a priest. Nobody could do that for 20 minutes way because I've been telling people, Ah, you prevents a certain difficulty with Audrey so often accuses me of embroidering my story. Never brighter. You decide whether it was five minutes or tweet. Wake the person who's got to correct these tapes has got a job and have decided I find out I don't know. But I wonder if they don't fool before Bill Sears anyway, that well, this room of the things that the usual must be very valuable to us. And we're really rather than five minutes 20 I don't know, but he really brother this booth facing abuse, you standing there taking turns on. And we got all the translator and always very lately except arose one time when rever the hands of a car. And I think I've done enough you His name may be fair to him, but he complained that he wasn't getting it all. And he complained quite a lot about that. He said that you're going too fast. I was ready. And I got to make decisions based on what I hear that comes out of that man's mouth and you gotta slow up so I can get. And then, um, you remember Mr Mr Landry? Sure. He said something that everybody is all a person rolled wrapping. So, after I really reserve Robin over to my one friend who could speak every language, I said, What was it? This issue? Henry said he just said These are the words of God's way. This is your idea of the kind of thing that the news he was doing um um he was a hero. Very sweet. Very running, very capable. I I wrote your mind when we were Well, she wrote back, tell you a few things about Iran. Must read rebates of this letter to you. This letter. Plus, my girl, they used to be your Townsend, the brother of George. And because George Stones you guys years ago. But he was a wonderful person. I wish I had time to tell you about talent at any rate. Learn it was her father's secretary. Well, if it hadn't been for human butt rash broke. Towns question Baha'i. We've never been rich because she wished him in and she sat at his desk for roots and he could hardly speak. She could hardly hear him, but she got dough, and the book came up just about the time of his death. But that is your it and really is living in Canada. I got hold of her, get seven years about half, because you really, uh, handsome One is the chairman of the National spirit. Certainly United Kingdom. This is what he said about, You said he was a quiet person, right to stay in the background. But it was always brought to the fore ground because of this vast rise and was interesting way of telling us about the thing and its history. Returning, stolen It's about the letters of the living member Baghdad period that I've never seen in print. Perhaps they are moving more spur people here. There was always a perfect evening with her into the room and ever thought his beautiful spirit. Someone remarked that never wrote in what I should do about something. I always say to myself, what has to do if he were in my shoes? Rivers story. She has three. The only time I ever saw him rougher was that several school. When I was back by, he served. It didn't stop that summer. School would have to be close. It was terrible, really say Bay Prison for a long time, Shortly before 11 Guardian passed away, John Fair. They remain hands. He was brought up with faith and by bay, where his parents were pioneering, heard that afternoon and decided to be a Muslim because it seemed so real that his first cousin could be described in the world testament. Baha'i, did you, uh, a little room to happen to this cousin that surely intended and seen the room? The greenest proof of the two? Because one loser, he went there with lots of impressions. But it's married, went completely blank. When about sure. However, under past, the girl will pursue him to answer each one of these questions. Hanson's mother is in that third sister of the gardens. How's father was fun. So, for that matter And what, Charles really? A pastoral, perhaps in addition, throughout, had the joy of hearing No, um um Rain room our first countries on that day when we first realized we have to have translations and Lucy and Daisy stepped into the roots and did it. That was the first day that we realized what the garden had met when we were referred to us as the chief stewards of the embryonic root Khanum. I have a and remember, um, with responsibility, trust department. So one of us were prepared. We had no idea what this make. Probably really hungry man had no idea because she was being his secretary is right. For 20 years and suddenly here we were 26 of this, and we realized that we had to replaced because in the absence of sugar, baby, well, over thanks for his guidance. And it's a very worked up things that we simply had to do know. The reason why turns or bad about the Inserra bility is that I must make the point that here we were with the real jen ability read hands by a true story. Um, we had were in credibility. Uh, it was quite a thing for us to suddenly realized that this was the case. And so way talked about this and we realized then do you know that at that time we have had women number and living rooms of infallibility during remissions? Hello? Everyone should remember nothing will get one over in the rudder. Rulers, we had this virus beautiful, where we can depend on everything of a sudden Rex Reed is headed. And where we were 26 of us trying to figure out. But the guiding really wanted us to do this. Sure. So, um, we really with two are great dry that the Universal hose to justice when it was brought into being would have infallibility again. Way didn't have a veil that well, Baha'i had promised that the universal huzzah justice when it was really good waiters broader being it would be a direct caliber. So this was a tremendous strength for us to realize that really had five years to go. Everyone in ruins in the morning of the guy looks 10 year spiritually per scene. He died in 1970 in November. The guards. The plan has been given to us in Rizwan in 1953 way. We're halfway through the plan and we realized the first thing we had to do was to complete the plans of the Guardian. We have to complete that five year plan that was removed was removing, saying, Do we didn't think there was a fault in the world are doing it. One thing we had to us in America, we had to have 22 rational, spiritually, certainly 22. And with that time there were there were some countries that room would have run little experience, and then we have to have a level national spiritually seven. In Europe, we didn't have some countries, they didn't even run run, and it just seemed impossible. But our job for us, too. Keep in touch with other behinds all over the world, working, inspired. And I think I look down a lot of years before to rise in the globe and peace thing, and this was leaving and reading about town better behind. The world will support us in this. They they were protesting, not having your guidance and way too many decisions. One. In Russia, we have to complete the guidance plan with other thing. And I think perhaps one of the ways the things we did was well decided that first time place that we must follow the thinking of sugar candy every season they came up, we were so construct defended you in this case, and we have many very efficacious Wait, are are low members of the hands of the really nine hands to say that and some of the only other hands to various around the road and started doing what you're doing for me and try to feel your way could away these plans to be greeted, and they rely on other plans. Let's rest close. National Assembly that has to be brought to me. But all this is what we had to do. And this was the institution of the teeth. Juries to the room. And this is where our friend half from Lucy players. That's extraordinary, important part. And it is really tell you about him during that. Well, I have, uh, start turn in the story, but they remain other angles to it. No, Um I don't know. I know which. I have a whole list of things that you might like. Runner love. There was word. Hand who? Darling? Who? Your lovely wearing a person matter? Millie Khanum. What is 93? Before most of the time was brought into being. Incidentally, we got through No. 2 63 That was the year when we way we could bring in the way control with show defending lawyer. And we found that that everything was absolutely weird shape. Some guy was people saving you sure defending really was wonderful. But he did. I will. You know, they kind of love that against you. Well, the thing is, it's all we could do. Hello, Lester. Will We have paid millions of dollars in taxes, but you see, he did Penny. He had means of hours of property and money in his knee. But it didn't go around him. He didn't have anybody. That is right. She was an ex. Well, and there was lots of money left family. So she didn't meet everybody. And they have been So we didn't really believe anyone in his way, and you didn't really know anybody. And so that was made clear. We're just gonna have to pay taxes because there's no Well, you don't need any money and you pay taxes on money. You mean and And people were expecting they were being second guard. I remember when I went to the funeral from the Rhodesia our trip in the train and she said, You're in love with second dining and term and I run a certain forever way expected there would be a second guy. And in those days, I prefer the Guardian died for years. We Baha'i sit down together and talk about this that you think it was a present from UPS disposed will be the second guardian. It must be a second guard. How could we get along with that? And then suddenly we realized we die. And there was nervous, which and there was no 2nd 2nd guardian. You play the hand the chief steward of the rest and we carry Herschel Justice came into being in 1963. That is to go the whole thing. And we had a very cute, very a lawyer. Good. They were brought here for some 20 years. We consult him and he told us all. He said, There's a whole picture and we'll see lives show you. Then He had been in everything he did, and you really well, So, uh, no friends. I'm getting to the end of my child. So many things. I haven't you 10,000,000 money. She was, uh she was the first. The first hand? No. Oh, just a minute. Okay. Millie Khanum. She was the first big party with the guy. You were pretty remote, 47. But he told me.

And she was great Rollout for her husband was a mining engineer. He left her. She would live there. Were you ever going to take? Gave quite a lot of the guardian said Milly, you must be a good a good student. Rolling, die and ruin our first Khanum. Millie was wrong. Didn't seem really sad. The rest is resisting it. Millie. And she was a word we thought. Just be broken hearted. And I right center one saying, But you know, you're the only one who really isn't sad. You for that? Sorry to ask you this, but why?
