Hands of Cause Appoint Executive Board

The Hands of the Cause in the Western Hemisphere have announced the appointment of Mrs. Florence Mayberry and Mrs. Velma Sherrill as Executive Board Members for Protection and Propagation, respectively, in the territory of the United States and Alaska: This action is in compliance with the instructions of the Universal House of Justice issued on November 7, 1964, which also defined the functions of the Executive Board as follows:

“In order to enable the Hands of the Cause to be as free as possible to fulfill the functions with which they are charged in the Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and to train Board members in the functions and responsibilities of the Hands, the Hands of each continent should appoint one or more members of the Auxiliary Boards to act in an executive capacity on behalf of and in the name of each Hand, thereby assisting him in carrying out his work. At such time as a continental Hand may be absent for a prolonged period of time, or may no longer be able to serve in his zone, the Universal House of Justice will designate the manner in which the functions and responsibilities of the Hand of' that zone will be discharged.” '

Circulation of Sacred Writings Limited to Authorized Translations

From time to time the National Spiritual Assembly is urged to make available to the friends certain prayers or extracts from the Sacred Writings that are in the possession of Persian believers but not published in our own Bahá’í literature. The Universal House of Justice has written that, in the future, the Sacred Texts will be translated by international committees under the supervision of the Universal House of Justice, and that meanwhile it is unwise for individuals to circularize their own translations which, in the very nature of things, must be unreliable and unauthenticated.

The National Spiritual Assembly of Írán advises all Persian Bahá’ís coming to the United States that they are not to translate or distribute any of the Sacred Writings which are not authorized by the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States. This was an explicit instruction of the beloved Guardian to the Bahá’ís of Írán.

In light of the Guardian’s statement that the western Bahá’ís have enough literature translated already, the Universal House of Justice has instructed the National Spiritual Assembly to discourage the friends from seeking more unauthorized translations.

Workshops Not to Be Used at National or State Conventions

Each year recommendations are made to the National Spiritual Assembly that the workshop method of consultation be employed at the national and state conventions to provide for more intensive discussion on subjects of special interest by a larger number of individuals. This plan was used at the National Convention in 1949 after which the beloved Guardian wrote through his secretary on August 25, 1949 that this method was not suitable for the National Convention.

“The time at the disposal of the delegates is short,” he said, “and the whole purpose of the delegates to a convention is that as a body they should take up the affairs of the Cause presented for discussion and air ideas and make recommendations.” It is a technique, he said, that could be used at summer schools “and even if found desirable, at conferences.”

Since no reference had been made to the use of workshops at state conventions, and since there had been recommendations from several state conventions in 1965 that the method be employed at the 1966 state conventions, the National Spiritual Assembly inquired of the Universal House of Justice whether the Guardian’s instruction was to be applied also to the state conventions. The Universal House of Justice replied on September 15, 1966 that the Guardian’s directions still apply, and on November 1, 1966 wrote that as the state convention is an administrative function, the workshop method is not to be used at state conventions. The letter stated however that the National Spiritual Assembly is free to arrange for teaching conferences or institutes before or after the convention and that the workshop method may be used at such conferences or institutes.

Each Believer Is

a Representative of the Faith

Each Bahá’í is a representative of his Faith to the public, whether or not he is so designated officially.

In his daily actions, in his words, in his unspoken attitudes towards other people and situations, he advertises the Faith in which he believes, and thus makes an impression, as a Bahá’í, on all of those with whom he comes in contact.

Bahá’ís individually and in groups thus become public information representatives for the Faith. As the Faith becomes more well known the Bahá’ís will be tested more frequently by the world, which will be watching to see how the teachings of this Faith are put into practice.

[Page 2]National Spiritual Assembly Analyzes Record of State Convention Voting _

During its year-end meeting the National Spiritual Assembly carefully analyzed the reports of the voting at the 1966 State and Electoral District Conventions. There was general concern over the large number of Bahá’ís who did not participate in the election of the delegates to the National Convention either in person or by mail. Only sixty per cent of the eligible voters turned in ballots, the same proportion as last year.

The results of voting by districts is shown below. The percentage in each instance is in relation to the number of eligible voters. Districts with particularly favorable participation — sixty per cent or more in person —— are designated in italics, while those having a particularly

Since universal participation is one of the major objectives of the Nine Year Plan, the National Assembly has set a minimum goal for participation of at least seventy per cent of the eligible voters in 1967. All state goals committees and local assemblies are requested to consider ways and means to improve the voting record next year, and more important, how to increase the level of activity generally of which the voting record is only an indicator.

Plan to Hear About the Convention

Post-National Convention reports are being scheduled throughout the United States by the State Goals Com \mittees. Many have already been scheduled to be held

in May. The exact time and location will be announced in state bulletins.

Every believer is urged to attend these meetings to partake of the spirit and enthusiasm which delegates will bring back to their home states.

IDENTIFICATION CARDS

If you are planning to attend the National Convention, be sure to have proper identification card. Do not wait until the last minute.

Believers in groups and isolated localities should request cards from the National Bahá’í Office. Those in communities obtain theirs from the local secretary.

U.S. National Spiritual Assembly Holds Special Consultation on Indian Teaching

Ways and means for intensifying and expanding teaching among the American Indians was given special study at the request of the U.S. National Spiritual Assembly on February 18 at the National Bahá’í Center in Wilmette, Illinois. On invitation of the National Assembly, representatives of the American Indian Service Committee, three Auxiliary Board members, representatives of the National Goals ‘Committee and individuals actively engaged in Indian teaching, including two from Canada devoted the day to making long-range plans, establishing specific goals for the remainder of the Nine Year Plan and for the coming year for developing teaching activities on all reservations in the United States. The group was especially blessed with the presence all day of Hand of the Cause Mr. John Robarts recently transferred to Canada from Africa.

At the end of the day the members of the National Spiritual Assembly who were in session that same weekend joined the group to hear a report of the day’s findings and recommendations as well as suggestions for implementing them. Certain of the recommendations were approved by the National Assembly for immediate action while others were deferred for further consultation.

The goals for 1973 include the formation of local spiritual assemblies in nineteen Indian areas throughout the country, and resident pioneers on every reservation. Nineteen reservations were selected for concentrated effort for the year 1967-1968, utilizing 100 pioneers, singly and in teams. A special appeal for these 100 pioneers will be made at the National Convention. Pioneer training institutes will be held for those who respond, including special sessions for this purpose at the 1967 summer schools.

More active participation in all Bahá’í activities by enrolled Indian Bahá’ís will be consistently encouraged, including exchange visits by Indian Bahá’í teachers between all Indian reservations and certain Indian reserves in Canada.

“You must give great importance to teaching the Indians,” wrote ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in one of His Tablets to the believers of the United States and Canada. “Should these Indians and aborigines be educated and obtain guidance,” He said, “there is no doubt that through the divine teachings, they will become so enlightened as in turn to shed light to "all regions.”

With fifty—nine tribes already represented in the membership of the American Bahá’í Community, the foundation exists for a well coordinated teaching effort by all communities adjacent to Indian reservations and in cities having large Indian populations.

The U.S. Supplement to Bahá’í News, an Official Communication

One of the chief purposes of the U.S. SUPPLEMENT T0 Bahá’í NEWS is to eliminate from the Bahá’í NEWS—an international organ presently published in the United States——such information, instructions, and requests

3

as are of concern to the American Bahá’ís only. It is an official communication between the National Spiritual Assembly and the American Bahá’í community, including local spiritual assemblies. Each local assembly should maintain a separate file of the SUPPLEMENTS, along with the index, for constant reference.

Local assemblies have the direct responsibility of checking each SUPPLEMENT and to take action when necessary at the assembly meetings. The recording secretary or some other member of the assembly could be assigned the duty of watching for information, requests, and instructions that should come to the attention of the assembly for action. It is also the duty of the assembly to report to the community any assembly actions taken on items in the U.S. SUPPLEMENT.

Can You Teach During Your Vacation?

This question is being asked the Bahátis of Minnesota whose State Goals Committee will plan an itinerary for all who would like to incorporate some Bahá’í work into their vacation schedules. Whether traveling in or out of state, the committee will furnish names and places en route and suggestions. Plans may include visiting an isolated Bahá’í for an hour or so, holding a fireside in a town being visited, or visiting an Indian reservation. If your State Goals Committee has not publicized a “vacation schedule application” as in Minnesota, nonetheless they will be able to furnish appropriate assistance.

SUMMER YOUTH TRAINING SESSIONS ANNOUNCED

Bahá’í youth from across the land will be at four Summer Youth Projects training sessions in June and July to prepare themselves for exciting teaching programs in various communities in the United States and Canada.

In addition to the same three sessions held last year, a fourth has been provided for the Northwestern States and Western Canada, thus giving the summer training programs wider regional availability as well as increased scope.

The youth will receive training in specific skills required for the teaching and service projects which are already being planned. They will also attend classes in the Bahá’í way of life and learn of the role of youth in the Nine Year Plan.

Youth between seventeen and twenty-two years of age are eligible for assignment to away-from—home projects of two to eight weeks in the United States or Canada. Those between fifteen and seventeen will receive equally intensive training for at—home projects. These projects will be a valuable preparation for future participation in the United States and abroad.

Excellent faculties will be on hand at the four sessions, and youth unable to take part in a project this summer are still urged to attend a training session. Youth of the Summer Youth Projects Program must be declared Bahá’ís, because of the intensity of the training and the spiritual demands of the projects themselves.

No youth wishing to participate should allow lack of funds to prevent him. Local spiritual assemblies and the National Spiritual Assembly are helping to finance the program along with contributions from individuals. Youth needing financial assistance should feel free to contact one of the four persons named below. The committees receive youth scholarship funds from assemblies, groups and individuals.

The one-week training sessions for the Summer Youth Projects Program will be held as follows:

Midwestern States and Plains States June 18-24

Davison Bahá’í School Mrs. Ethel A. Crawford 7318 Ridgeland Ave. Chicago, Ill. 60647

THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP

A Shelter for Many Activities

The Coordinafor

We read in last month’s Bahá’í NEWS about the significance of the Most Holy House of Worship in Wilmette. With this‘ article we begin a series which will endeavor to inform the friends of the many and divers activities at the Mashriqu’l-Adhkár.

In September of 1964 the National Spiritual Assembly appointed a Department of Temple Activities to be responsible for the study, supervision, improvement and expansion of all activities designed to attract seekers, inspire and serve the Bahá’ís. Seven committees have been appointed by the Department to assist in fulfilling these responsibilities, and a person observing the members at work can readily see what a joy and privilege it is to serve at the Mother Temple.‘

The center of activity is the Office of Coordinator, where volunteer guides are scheduled during the hours the House of Worship is open to visitors, tours are arranged, requests received for Bahá’í weddings, and activities coordinated as recommended by the service committees.

LEFT: Miss Helena Somerhalder, Temple Coordinator, places timely displays on portable panels for U.N. Day Cele The Coordinator’s day begins with opening the House of Worship at 10 a.m. and ends with its closing at 9 p.m. from May to October—at 5 p.m. during the winter months. Packed within those hours are many toursover 400 last year— ranging greatly in size as well as age and interest. The Coordinator often addresses these tours, or is assisted by able guides. To help increase interest in requesting tours, invitations to visit the House of Worship are sent to travel agents, auto clubs, church groups, social clubs, schools, conventions, etc.

The Coordinator also creates timely displays on portable panels and writes the monthly “Activities Bulletin” which is sent to local Spiritual Assemblies, State Goals Committees, and groups within a few hundred miles of the Temple, informing them of all events at the House of Worship.

In these daily activities, very briefly described here, the Coordinator works closely with the service committees (Children; Guides; Hospitality; Public Meetings; Teaching Aids; Ushers; and Worship) each of which will be described in future issues.

Bahá’í School Celebrates Anniversary

The Southwestern Bahá’í Summer School will mark its tenth anniversary this summer during its August 1219 session at the Lake Bridgeport Methodist Camp, Bridgeport, Texas.

Dates Set for Western Canada Summer School

For the first time in approximately twenty years the Western Canada Bahá’í Summer School will be held at a location other than Banff, Alberta. The new site will be the Bahá’í owned lakeside chalet, Sylvan Lake, Alberta—100 miles north of Calgary. Indoor sleeping accommodations are limited but there are motels and a large camping area. The dates are July 30 to August 5. Further information is available from: MRS. SYLVIA ScoTT, 2125-16A STREET, S. W., CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA.

[Page 6]Bahá’í Publishing Trust

There have been repeated requests for a clothbound edition of Religion for Mankind, choice selection of essays written by Horace Holley, profound scholar of the Bahá’í Faith, late Hand of the Cause and secretary of the National Assembly of the U.S. for thirty-six years.

“Without unity of faith and agreement on the spiritual teachings which set forth the purpose of human life, the aim of our existence, the laws and principles which come from God and which must be obeyed by governments as well as by peoples and races, there can be no political nor economic unity,” states the author. “Singleness of faith is the gate which stands between the age of war and the age of peace, between a war-tom humanity and a humanity which has attained the blessings of God.”

To those co-workers who contributed their efforts during the same years that Mr. Holley made his unique contribution to the establishment of the‘ world-wide Bahá’í administrative order, this new clothbound edition will be highly welcomed for personal libraries, as a gift to friends, or for presentation to public and college libraries. To new Bahá’ís, or those not yet acquainted with Mr. Holley’s writings, this collection will open a new door to inspiration and bring new insights on the Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh. The author states: “For believers, the Word is not a philosophy to be learned, but the sustenance of being throughout the span of mortal existence.”

New Publications in Braille

Through a very generous gift from one of our Bahá’í friends, Bahá’í SERVICE FOR THE BLIND is now in process of publishing in Press-Braille in two volumes Bahá’í Prayers and Bahá’í Occasional Prayers. We hope that these books will be ready for distribution before Convention time. The price has not yet been determined. Heretofore, this text has been either hand-transcribed for each blind believer, or, in the last two years, duplicated — a time consuming process. Now it will be available to believers and also to interested friends and to libraries.

We are also happy to announce the reprinting of two books which were nearly out of stock. Because we were able to order in larger quantity than usual, the price will be reduced: The Mission of Bahá’u’lláh, formerly $1.80, now $1:00; Prophecy Fulfilled, formerly $1.25, now 95c.

Order the above publications from: BAHA’lI SERVICE FOR THE BLIND, 3110 E. LESTER ST., TUCSON, ARIZONA 85716.

National Library Week: Teaching Opportunity

National Library Week will be observed throughout the country from April 16 through 22, offering Bahá’ís yet another opportunity to bring the word before the people. Now is the time to suggest a display of Bahá’í books at the local library and to see that it is well stocked with authentic and up-to-date Bahá’í references.

If your library does not have Bahá’í books, this would be a most appropriate time to donate some and a subscription to WORLD ORDER magazine.

A Tribute to the Bahá’í Faith

Mrs. Dickerman Hollister, President of the Board of the Temple of Understanding, Inc. (a non-profit educational organization) with the purpose, “to further through education in the major religions of the world, man’s awareness of his essential brotherhood. . . to be a ‘spiritual United Nations’ ” has written to the Connecticut Goals Committee, stating in part: “We of course feel so close to the Bahá’í Faith. You are many miles ahead of us.” In a letter to the National Bahá’í Headquarters, she wrote: “I have studied the writings of your teacher, and visited your beautiful Temple in Wilmette, and feel the Bahá’í movement to be one of the great spiritual forefronts of our time.”

An Opportunity to Teach With the Pen

Dominion, the non sectarian magazine which recently carried a reprint of the article on the Bahá’í Faith originally published in the National Observer (see this issue of Bahá’í N1-zws) announces that readers may submit answers to the questions “What is Religion?" or “What is your Idea of God?” The best answers will be published in the magazine.

Articles in answer to either of these questions should not exceed 500 words and should be sent to: FORUM Enrron, DOMINION MAGAZINE, 3 Strickland Road, Cos Cob, Connecticut 06807.

Plan a Fair Booth

April may not be too early to begin thinking about a Bahá’í booth or display at your county or state fair booth space may be limited.

It appears to be a successful way of bringing the name Bahá’í Faith before hundreds and even thousands of people. Iowa Bahá’ís report their state fair booth was a “great success” with an estimated 20,000 persons viewing it. Of these 2,000 were spoken to or received literature and 62 signed cards requesting more information! The cards are being distributed to assemblies for follow-up.

Believers in Wisconsin received inquiries from visitors as far east as Indiana and as far west as St. Paul, Minnesota, at the Sheboygan County Fair at Plymouth, Wisconsin. Most inquiries were from young adults. Fair officials put attendance at over 90,000 people and the Bahá’í booth (made, displayed and paid for by the Sheboygan County Bahá’ís) was considered one of the fair’s finest. It included various pamphlets and books available to the public, posters and picture shows with the House of Worship as the main attraction.
