"In regard to the question submitted to your Assembly by the Baha'i group
at Maui, Hawaii, concerning the passage on page 88 of the book 'Baha'i
Administration,'
"...The Guardian wishes me to inform you that the festivals of the
Declaration of the Bab and the birthday of 'Abdu'l-Baha referred to in
that passage as having been celebrated on the twenty-second of November,
1925, by the Baha'is of the Orient, are based on the lunar calendar. For
this reason the date of the celebration is not fixed, but shifts every
year. Eventually as the Master has explicitly stated, a uniform system
will have to be established by the International House of Justice."
