Abstract:
Two short comments of Shoghi Effendi, from a personal conversation.
Notes:
This note was found in the "Barstow Collection." It is not known who Mrs. Rollins is, but Mrs. McCormick is probably Temple McCormick, from Washington, or Marjorie McCormick.
This is a "Pilgrim's note," an individual's recollection of statements and actions of the Central figures. They are subjective and not authoritative. See an overview of Pilgrim's Notes. |
[year and first names unknown]"Say the Greatest Name instantly, The Guardian's other statement was this: "Every Bahá'í in the world could be a teacher and a speaker. How? Like this: Every Bahá'í should memorize Bahá'í Prayers. Every Bahá'í should memorize Bahá'í Principles. Every Bahá'í should memorize some of the talks of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, some of the writings of Bahá'u'lláh (short passages), also some of the other writings. Then, he said, these are the tools that you put into the subconscious mind; and you can stand before any audience and never be struck for something to say.Even if you start out with a prayer in a sincere and humble manner, the Supreme Concourse on high will assist you and you will never be at a loss for words. |
