The following questions where posed one-by-one to each of the panelists:
Question: “What did you learn from your visit to the beloved Guardian?”
Question: “What did Shoghi Effendi say about ‘Amatu’l-Baha Ruhiyyih Khanum?”
Persian translation of this talk is given between the pauses of Hand of the Cause of God John Robarts during his remarks.
Hand of the Cause of God John Robarts shares a few memories of his association with Mr. Balyuzi and the significant role that Hand of the Cause Balyuzi played during the first Conclave of the Hands of the Cause at Bahji right after the passing of Shoghi Effendi in 1957.
Praises this “glorious conference” and says great works will flow from it. Recalls Henry Hyde and Clara Dunn’s arising to pioneer to Australia, a country about which they knew nothing. They arrived in Australia without much money and Henry was not well. Clara told Hand Robarts their story. They were the only married couple named Hands of the Cause of God. He then raised the call for those at the Conference to arise to pioneer. He said in 1953 eight hundred Baha’is were gathered at the Conference in Illinois and 75 arose to pioneer.
