ould elect
two or three persons who are the choicest men of that nation, and are well
informed concerning international laws and the relations between
governments and aware of the essential needs of the world of humanity in
this day. The number of these representatives should be in proportion to
the number of inhabitants of that country. The election of these souls who
are chosen by the national assembly--that is, the parliament--must be
confirmed by the upper house, the congress and the cabinet and also by the
president or monarch so that these persons may be the elected ones of all
the nation and the government. From among these people the members of the
Supreme Tribunal will be elected, and all mankind will thus have a share
therein, for every one of these delegates is fully representative of his
nation. When the Supreme Tribunal gives a ruling on any international
question, either unanimously or by majority rule, there will no longer be
any pretext for the plaintiff or ground of objection for the defendant. In
case any of the governments or nations, in the execution of the
irrefutable decision of the Supreme Tribunal, be negligent or dilatory,
the rest of the nations will rise up against it, because all the
governments and nations of the world are the supporters of this Supreme
Tribunal. Consider what a firm foundation this is! But by a limited and
restricted League the purpose will not be realized as it ought and should.
This is the truth about the situation which has been stated....
Today nothing but the power of the Word of God which encompasses the
realities of things can bring the thoughts, minds, hearts and spirits
under the shade of one Tree. He is the potent in all things, the vivifier
of souls, the preserver and the controller of the world of mankind. Praise
be to God, in this day the light of the Word of God has shone forth upon
all regions; and from all sects, communities, nations, tribes, peoples,
religions and denominations, souls have gathered together under the shadow
of the Word of Oneness, and have in the utmost fellowship united and
harmonized!
RACIAL HARMONY
Today I am most happy, for I see here(6) a gathering of the servants of
God. I see the white and colored people together. In the estimation of God
there is no distinction of color; all are one in the color and beauty of
servitude to Him. Color is not important; the heart is all-important. It
matters not what the exterior may be
