On May 29 Baha'is around the world, commemorated the Ascen- sion of Baha'u'llah, Prophet-Fotin der of the Baha'i Faith. On this day in 1892 at the age of ,75 years Baha'u'llah . passed on to the heavenly kingdom. He had spent more than forty years of his life in exile and in prison ,because of his teachings. The final years of his life were spent as a prisoner of the Turkish government at Bahji, near the prison city of Acca in what is today Israel. At Bahji is lOcated the tomb of Baha'u'llah, considered holy shrine and a place Of pilgrimage bY Bahals. • Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah is the latest in a series of divine messengers sent by God since the beginning, of mankind's existence on the earth. They believe that he fulfils the promises and prophecies left to, mankind in the holy scriptures of the divine messengers of the past. They regard his teachings and laws as necessary for the realization of world peace, world unity and the Kingdom, of ,God on earth. Among the last tablets revealed by Baha'u'llah is his will and testament, In' this document Abdu'l-Baha, his eldest son, was appointed his successor and the centre Of his covenant • with mankind. This will and testament, is unique in the history of mankind, for never before had a messenger of God 'so explicitly established a conversant to be the foundation and protection of his faith. Ndr had a divine messenger till this time named a successor whOse purpose was to keep pure his word, preserve the unity of his folldwers and prevent sectarianism and corruption. It is on this rock of the covenant that a new world order is. being built. Baha'is do not have pictures or photographs of Baha'u'llah. He wished that the. Baha'is' worship God, rather than ' himself, a messenger'of God. A messenger of God is a reflector of the perfections of God, not himself the perfection which is God alone. The followers of Baha'u'llah, called Baha'is, are now established in over 330 countries and territories around- the globe. The writings -of Baha'u'llah have' been 'translated into over 570' languages. will be held in Stratford in 1977. Mrs. Burton again introduced the speaker, Mrs. J.A.
