"The preparation of Baha'i articles, committee reports, etc., should
therefore employ the system of transliteration which the Guardian has
supplied."

211: UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE, MEMBERSHIP

"As regards your question concerning the membership of the Universal House
of Justice, there is a Tablet from 'Abdu'l-Baha in which He definitely
states that the membership of the Universal House is confined to men and
that the wisdom of it will be fully revealed in the future. In the local,
as well as the National Houses of Justice, however, women have the full

by God to His Prophets, and the spiritual experiences and visions which
individuals may have. The latter should, under no circumstances, be
construed as constituting an infallible source of guidance, even for the
person experiencing them."

214: VOTING--(CIVIL)

with one party or another. To enter the arena of party politics is surely
detrimental to the best interests of the Faith and will harm the Cause. It
remains for the individuals to so use their right to vote as to keep aloof
from party politics, and always bear in mind that they are voting on the
merits of the individual, rather than because he belongs to one p
