But he cannot but deplore the fact that some of the believers
are reluctant to observe, as strictly as they should, the Feasts
and anniversaries prescribed by the Cause. This attitude, which
may be justified in certain exceptional circumstances, is fraught
with incalculable dangers and harm to the community, and will,
if allowed to persist, seriously endanger its influence and prestige
in the public eye. Unity of action, in matters of so vital an
importance as the observance of Baha’i holidays, is essential.
It is the responsibility of the N.S.A. to remind and urge the
friends to faithfully carry out all such laws and precepts of the
Cause, the enforcement of which does not constitute an open
violation of the laws of their country.
