Bah'a'i Convention. The delegates
to the National Convention, elected
at the, regional conventions in

A. 'Unique aspect of Baha'i
elections is the total.absence of any
form of electioneering. All
comment or personalities is dis-
couraged, with emphasis on the

in an atmosphere of silence and

Two "Hands of the Cause of
God", John AL Robarts and

Cause of God the twin functions of
protecting and propagating the
Faith of Baha'u'llah. Authority to
appoint Hands of the Cause of God
was vested solely . in' Shoghi
Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha'i
Faith. Of the 37 Hands of the
Cause appointed by the Guardian
betWeen ,1921 and his death in
1957, only 16 remain today in the
physical world.
An important feature of the
convention was the premiere of the
film "Invitation" which commem-
orates the visit to Canada in
September 1912 of Abdu'l-Baha.
Abdu'l-Baha is the son of Baha'u'l-
lah and was appointed by Baha'u'l-
lah as the Centre of His Covenant
with mankind.
