raged to attend
these Feasts as often as possible.

In less than a year the Baha'is the world over will be celebrating the
100th anniversary of their Faith, and the Guardian is very anxious that
the British believers should commemorate this historic occasion
befittingly. He would, therefore, suggest that your Assembly take up the
following points for deliberation as soon as possible:

1. The holding of a large and representative gathering, attended by the
Baha'is and the public alike, in a hired hall in London on the 23rd May
1944. He feels that prominent friends and sympathisers of the Faith should
be invited to speak on this occasion, as well as Baha'is, and that every
effort should be made to make the gathering both festive and dignified, as
befits so blessed and solemn an occasion.

2. The publication of a Centenary Pamphlet outlining the important events
of the Faith, and with a special emphasis placed on the rise and
development of the Cause in England, its early history in that country,
the achievements of the friends in spreading the Teachings there and
establishing the administration, the formation of the Publishing Trust,
and so on.

3. He wishes your Assembly to call the annual Baha'i Convention for days
that will include the 22nd May, so that all the assembled friends may be
present at a special Baha'i meeting to be held at 2 hours and 11 minutes
after sunset on May 22nd as this is the exact time at which the Bab made
His first historic declaration of His mission to Mulla ?usayn.

In order to aid the dear English believers in their befitting celebration
of so glorious an occasion the Guardian is forwarding to your Assembly the
sum of two hundred pounds sterling to be used for the arrangements you
deem fit to make, and the publication of the above mentioned pamphlet. The
Baha'i communities all over the world--wherever free to do so--will also be
celebrating this memorable day, each according to its capacity, and he is
very anxious that the British Baha'is should, as befits their increasingly
prominent position in the Baha'i World, demonstrate to the public and to
their fellow believers, the vitality of their community and the marked
advancement it has made of late. He leaves all details to the discretion
of your Assembly.

Mr. Yool of Manchester was recently able to spend his leave in Haifa at
the Western Pilgrim House, and the Guardian was so happy to welcome one of
the English friends here. He hopes t
