The delegates to the National Convention, elected at the, regional conventions in -February, elected the 9 members of the National Spiritual Assembly for the coming year. . 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 qualities Of .candidates. Voting, done by secret ballot, is canied-out in an atmosphere of silence and : prayer. Two "Hands of the Cause of God", John AL Robarts and William Sears, were • present to address the participants at the opening and close of the conven- tion. The Baha'i Writings give to the Institution of the Hands of the 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.
