WHAT WAS THE ACTION OF THE TRUE BELIEVERS AFTER THE DEMISE OF THE FIRST GUARDIAN? (Part-II)

This article is a continuation of my article in which I brought to the attention of the Bahá'í World the information that, following the passing of Shoghi Effendi, the members of the Local Spiritual Assemblies of Lahore, Rawalpindi and Layalpur in Pakistan had voted to accept Mason Remey as the second Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith.
Again, I was further encouraged by the beloved third Guardian, Joel Bray Marangella, to inform the Bahá'í s about the other Assemblies in the world that is about the actions taken by:
-The National Spiritual Assembly of France and
-The LSA’s of Lucknow (India) and
-The Believers of Iran.

HAPPY BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF BAHA’U'LLAH

Celebrating the Birth Anniversary of Baha'u'llah let us think upon collectively on the continuity of the guardianship, walking on the path of the Covenant.
As our living guardian says:

"The distinguishing characterstic of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah is a Covenant which Baha'u'llah made with His followers to preserve and safe-guard the Faith, following His Ascension, from the divisive and baleful effect of varying interpretations which, have plagued the religions of the past and destroyed the unity of their followers. This Covenant embodied in a specific written Testament designated by Him as the Book of His Covenant (Kitab-i-'Ahd) has no parallel in the Scriptures of any previous Dispensation. In this unique Document, Baha'u'llah conferred the mantle of authority upon His Ascension on the shoulders of His son, 'Abdu'l-Baha, Whome He designated as the Center of His Covenant and "The Most Great Branch" Further in the Most Holy Book of His Revelation (Kitab-i-Aqdas) He proclaimed:
"When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your Faces towards Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root."
Lest there be any misunderstanding as to the intent of the above quoted passage, Baha'u'llah clarified it in the Book of His Covenant (Kitab-i-'Ahd) in these Words:
"The object of this sacred verse is none other except the most Mighty Branch ('Abdu'l-Baha)."
