INTRODUCTION
"The Bahá'í Faith is an independent world religion. 'It proclaims the necessity and
inevitability of the unification of mankind... It, moreover, enjoins upon its
followers the primary duty of an unfettered search after truth, condemns all manner
of prejudice and superstition, declares the purpose of religion to be the promotion
of amity and concord, proclaims its essential harmony with science, and recognizes
it as the foremost agency for the pacification and the orderly progress of human
society. It unequivocally maintains the principle of equal rights, opportunities and
privileges for men and women, insists on compulsory education, eliminates extremes
of poverty and wealth, abolishes the institution of priesthood, prohibits slavery,
asceticism, mendicancy and monasticism, prescribes monogamy, discourages
divorce, emphasizes the necessity of strict obedience to one's government, exalts any
work performed in the spirit of service to the level of worship, urges either the
creation or the selection of an auxiliary international language, and delineates the
outlines of those institutions that must establish and perpetuate the general peace
of mankind.'"1
This volume contains letters from Central Figures of the Bahá'í Faith and its
guiding institutions, applying the spiritual principles of the Bahá'í Faith, as
expressed in the revealed word of Bahá'u'lláh, to the practical problems and issues
facing individual Bahá'ís and their local communities.
Just as Jesus Christ referred His followers to the spiritual teachings of Moses and
Muhammad in turn directed His believers to the teachings of Christ, Bahá'u'lláh's
Revelation acknowledges its position as the newest in an ancient succession of
religions. Each of the world's great religions draws on a sacred body of text that
expresses eternally valid spiritual principles and applies those principles to the time
and place of the Messenger of God whose words form the basis of that Holy
Scripture.
The Báb (the "Gate"), Himself a Messenger of God, established the Bábí religion
in Persia in 1844. His example and teachings invigorated the people with the force
of spiritual revolution. Before His martyrdom in 1850, the Báb instructed His
followers to search for the Promised One, whose Revelation the Bábí Faith
heralded.
A period of persecution followed when more than 20,000 Bábís were tortured and
executed for thier steadfast beliefs. Then in 1863, in garden near Baghdád,
Bahá'u'lláh (the "Glory of God") revealed Himself to a group of Bábís as the
Messenger so long awaited. The Bahá'í Faith is the religion founded on
Bahá'u'lláh's Revelation of God's Word for this age.
Before His death in 1892, Bahá'u'lláh appointed His eldest son, 'Abdu'l-Bahá
(the "Servant of the Glory"), to guide the Bahá'í community by example and by
words, authorizing Him to interpret the sacred text. 'Abdu'l-Bahá did so until His
death in 1921, travelling to Africa, America and Europe.
The Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá designated His grandson, Shoghi
Effendi Rabbani, Guardian of the Cause and authorized interpreter of Bahá'u'lláh's
Revelation. During his lifetime, the Bahá'í Faith grew rapidly and communities were
founded throughout the world. Shoghi Effendi Rabbani guided the development of
local, national, and international institutions prescribed in Bahá'u'lláh's teachings;
these allowed Bahá'í communities to be nourished by their diversity and frameworks
which promoted unity. A few years after his death, the administrative structure
Shoghi Effendi Rabbani so lovingly fostered blossomed in the election of the first
Universal House of Justice, an institution ordained by Bahá'u'lláh's Revelation.
"The Universal House of Justice is the supreme governing body of the Bahá'í
Faith. Elected quinquennially at international conventions, the Universal House of
Justice gives spiritual guidance to and directs the administrative activities of the
worldwide Bahá'í community that numbers between three and four million."2, 1

PREFACE
TO 1983 EDITION
The purpose of this compilation is to serve as a ready reference for the institutions,
pioneers, teachers, et al. The majority of the material cited herein is from the
original or xerox copies of letters of the beloved Guardian Shoghi Effendi, the
Universal House of Justice and, to a lesser degree, from talks and Tablets of the
three Central Figures of the Faith. All letters or quotes from 'Bahá'í News', journals
and bulletins were authenticated or verified from transcripts from the World Centre
or from various National Archives. In a few cases where no record of an item could
be found other than from the publications, permission was granted to use it until
such time as the original is found and corrections will then be made if necessary.
Apparent inconsistencies in the annotations of sources are the consequence of
having received a number of verified transcripts from the World Centre. These
transcripts often noted corrections of published material quoted, and sometimes
cited more of the original letter than was previously published with the suggestion
noted that for the sake of clarity the compiler might like to use the entire letter or
paragraph.
A number of the compilations by the Universal House of Justice or its Research
Department have been published by different Publishing Trusts subsequent to the
drafting of this 'Reference File', therefore a published source may or may not be
cited. However, aware that many friends would not have access to original copies
of compilations or letters, the compiler went back and found a number of citations
and inserted references from available published sources.
The inexperienced reader may also question the inconsistencies in spelling and the
diacritical markings throughout the compilation. In accordance with the standard
set by the House of Justice, it appears that liberties should not be taken with letters
written by or on behalf of the Guardian, nor of the talks and Tablets of the three
Central Figures of the Faith. The compiler has adhered strictly to this standard and
only in two or three instances of glaring errors is the correct spelling cited in
parenthesis.
The compiler humbly desires to express her heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude
to the Universal House of Justice and the Department of Secretariat for their
guidance, help, stimulation and encouragement which engendered hope and the
necessary courage for her to dare to think of finishing this Reference File during the
most critical period of her life, and for their kindness and concern in sending
innumerous transcripts for verification and authentication of material which could
not be located elsewhere; to the Counsellors of South America (before the merger
to form the Continental Board of Counsellors for the Americas) for their
stimulating influence and assistance over the years, for their love and infinite
patience and sharing of material for this project. Special thanks to the National
Spiritual Assembly of Ecuador for its never failing help, boundless love and
understanding and unlimited assistance with this work so that it could
become a reality. It would indeed take a book to cite the names of all the friends
who so kindly helped or contributed in some way to the successful completion of
this reference work. Grateful acknowledgement is extended to each and every one
of you wherever you are! And a 'special measure' of gratitude to the friends in Ann
Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan for sacrificing so much of their time and energy,
often after long hours of work and study, to help finish this project. Without their
assistance it would have taken several more months to complete it.
Sometimes one wishes for the spiritual language of the other plane to express
one's deep emotions. Now, is one of the moments; the compiler cherishes such
desire to express her love and thanks to Dr. Rahmatu'lláh Muhájir, the Hand of the
Cause of God, for his stimulating influence and help and for his review of this
Reference File the night before he passed away.
Many questions have been received as to how this compilation came into being
or was initiated. The compiler explains that her love for the Guardian's letters is
what inspired her to start collecting them from old 'Bahá'í News', magazines and
bulletins when she was a 'brand new' Bahá'í. Then during the Nine-Year Plan she
was asked to make some international teaching trips and learned that such 'teachers
are expected to know a little of everything'. This was the impetus behind her
gathering the precious 'rescued letters' that at the time she felt were lost in those
dusty stacked away magazines and bulletins, and then putting them together to be
used especially on such trips. Then a Persian friend came to visit, a Counsellor*,
and he saw the then small compilation. It would be interesting if his exact words
could be recalled but in essence he said that "Bahá'ís cannot be selfish; when one
does something like this, it must be shared, now this is no longer yours."
Now friends this is yours!

Preface to the 1988 Revised Edition
While updating this reference work an effort was made to provide an accessible
volume, including some revised, retranslated Tablets and letters which would be
invaluable to those who have limited time to do their own research and to those with
insufficient reference material available when it is needed.
Considering that the Holy Text comprises more than 100 volumes and Tablets
revealed by the Prophet/Founder of the Faith, Bahá'u'lláh, and to this Revelation
have been added extensive writings and interpretations by 'Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi
Effendi as well as special messages and letters from the Universal House of Justice,
one can readily understand why it is impossible for one book to encompass such a
bountiful supply of written guidance. Therefore, an attempt was made to collect
from these primary sources quotations which address topics of known frequent
concern to the Institutions, pioneers, travelling teachers and the individual Bahá'ís.
This is a 'reference work' and not an attempt to provide a comprehensive
treatment of every subject mentioned in its entirety. It will indicate to the reader that
the subject has been addressed and, if needed, further information can be obtained
from the Institutions.
Again friends, this is yours!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to the many wonderful friends Bahá'ís
and non-Bahá'ís, from around the globe for your encouragement and beautiful
expressions of gratitude for Lights of Guidance.
A very special thanks to those who did a critical and content analysis of the work
which was very beneficial to me and I hope the benefit will be reflected in this revised
edition; for the cooperation of the various Institutions of the Faith; to the very
efficient and esteemed Mrs. Mercedes Buckingham P., who indexed both editions;
and to Mr. Frederick McClusky who helped to expedite this edition by taking on
the responsibility of the Table of Contents; to those star servants of Bahá'u'lláh
Mrs. Helen McClusky, Mrs. Mary Wolters and Mrs. Erma Hayden, who provided
encouragement and assistance in too many ways to recount in this space; and to the
Bahá'í Community of Ann Arbor and the Louhelen Bahá'í School.
It is also a bounty as well as a privilege for me to thank the students of the first
class of the Louhelen (Bahá'í) Residential College in Davison, Michigan who
participated in assembling some chapters of Lights of Guidance, when their time
permitted, as part of their extra-curricular activities on week-ends; and the
participants in a class to discuss the book during Homecoming Week in September
1987, who assembled various topics under Laws. I certainly hope that Mr. and Mrs.
Albert and Patti Fink, formerly of Ann Arbor, Michigan, realize that I can never
forget the invaluable service they rendered over the years helping me in every way
to get this work ready for future publication; and last but certainly not least, my
gratitude and thanks to my husband Charles Hornby for assisting with a great deal
of the research and paste-ups, filling me with vitamins to keep my health together
and for assuming responsibility for the majority of the un-numbered everyday tasks
one must perform. To all of you again, thank you for helping me to serve His Cause.

MEMORIAL
Helen Bassett Hornby, the compiler/author of this monumental work, died October
17, 1994. We hope that this Third, 1994, Edition of Lights of Guidance will more
nearly reflect her zeal for excellence and perfection, exemplified to her by the
publications and guidance of the Universal House of Justice.
The Editors
FAX letter from the Universal House of Justice dated October 20, 1993:
National Spiritual Assembly of the
Bahá'ís of the United States
Our hearts are grieved by the news of the passing of Helen Hornby, steadfast,
stalwart upholder of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh. Her well nigh three decades of
teaching and pioneering have left indelible traces in the Americas; her success in
preparing an extensive compilation on Bahá'í subjects was a crowning achievement.
We pray in the Holy Shrines that her noble soul may be richly rewarded in the Abhá
Kingdom. Kindly extend our sympathy to her dear family.

"... It is clear that life in this fast-fading world is as fleeting and inconstant as
the morning wind, and this being so, how fortunate are the great who leave a good
name behind them, and the memory of a lifetime spent in the pathway of the good
pleasure of God.
"It is all one, if it be a throne
Or the bare ground under the open sky,
Where the pure soul lays him
Down to die."
