The Baha'i Studies Listserv I recently found an old pamphlet entitled “The World Religion A summary of Its Aims, Teachings and History by SHOGHI EFFENDI Guardian of the Bahá'i Faith” as reprinted Jan 1941. Poking around, I find it is Appendix II of Martha Root’s “Tahirih, the Pure” which had been published in 1937. see http://www.paintdrawer.co.uk/david/folders/Research/Bahai/Tahirih/Life of Tahirih (Martha Root)[64].pdf But I can’t find it printed anywhere else as such, tho’ it appears to be a formal statement, perhaps to the British Mandate. Mr. Giachery notes, “we must remember the friendly relations he maintained in brilliantly conceived letters to the authorities of the British Mandate in Palestine and, after 1948, of the State of Israel, activities which greatly enhanced the prestige of the Faith, as did his communications with outstanding leaders and personalities in various countries of Europe.” So there are obviously materials that has never been published. Several paragraphs are cited individually in the BN of July 1934, and Ives quotes one sentence in Portals to Freedom. Perhaps Shoghi Effendi sent a copy of a statement to the NSA which it did not publish as a single document? Any suggestions? ¶1- BN 85 - July 1934 - page 1 ¶2-BN 85 - July 1934 - page 4-5 ¶3 -> 5 - Found only in Appendix II ¶6 - The first sentence is also found in Ives’ “Portals to Freedom”, first published in SOTW Dec 1934; otherwise not found elsewhere ¶7 - Found only in Appendix II ¶8 - No. 85 - July 1934 - page 7
