Eichenauer Reports
On Convention

John Eichenauer III gave full
report on the 41st Annual Conven-
ton of the Baha'is of the United
States at a meeting Wednesday
evening at Assembly Hall, 1913
West Van Buren,.
The conve i m, which Mr..
Eichenauer and Paul Schoeny of
Tucson attended as Arizona dele
gates, was held April % to 81 at
the Baha'i House of Worship in
Wilmette, Illinois. Consultation OF
the convention delegates centered
on the completion of the interior
ornamentation of this famous
structure. "The completed Baha'i
House of Worship" Mr.. Eichenauer
explained, twill conduct services
open to all people without respect
to race, class, nation or creed"
The services of worship, since the
Baha'i religion has no professional
clergy, will consist of readings by
lay readers of passages from the
sacred writings of every revealed
religion. For the ultimate point of
unity for the peoples of the world
lies in the essential harmony of
all revelations as progressive un-
foldments of Gods will.
