Ridvan Is Sacred Festival The most sacred Baha'i festival, Ridvan, is now being observed by. Baha'is around the globe. It' lasts from. April 21 to May 2 each year , and coincides with the 12-day period in 1863'that Baha'u'llah, the Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i Faith, spent in the Garden of Ridvan near Baghdad, during his exile to that. city. 'In this beautiful , garden Baha'u'llah declared His mission to mankind as the Promised ,One of all ages, the Lord of Hosts ,and the Master of the Day of Judgment. Ridvan marks each year , the formation , of the new Spiritual. Assemblies, both on the national and local level. The election of'the 9 'members of the National Spiritual of Canada will take place during the National Convention in Guelph (April 30-May 3). The election of the 9 members of the. Local Spiritual Assemblies occurred on April 21 in communities here in our own Huron Region, throughout, Canada and around the world. Local Spiritual Assemblies are the basic administrative units of Baha'u'llah's World Order, operat- ing at, ,the first levels of human society. As they are the smallest focal points for the attraction and dissemination of divine power within the 'Baha'i administrative system, ,they concern themselves with the individuals and families of the Assembly community. , They are an integral part' of the world plan sent down by God through Baha`u'llah, in this .day of salvation. for all mankind and their sole aim is the establishment of God's King dom on earth.

Because our whole purpose is education, we feel that "Canadians have a right to know the facts concerning , the .present abortion situation; furthermore ‘they should not be encouraged to find solace in ignorance, peace through moral isolation, or conviction by means of a fashionahle and fancy phrase. • The available objective data indicates that the abortion mental- ity has brought• Canadian society to a • crossroads where Canadian citizens na0t now decide whether they want a government which judges that people have a right to live only on the condition of their, being socially acceptable, or one which judges 'that people have the right to, live because that right is natural, sacred, and inalienable. In other words, Canadians .must 'choose between, a power society which denies human life to .whomever it deems unfit to live, ,and a just society which affirms and promotes 'human life wherever • human life exists. The former satisfies the instincts of the totalitarian; the latter, the instincts of the social democrat."
