them in thought as all sit down
for dinner at 6 o’clock in the eve¬
ning.
Iotans have three other national
observances in the interim between
conventions, and Founder’s Day is
an inspiring culmination of these
occasions, for after they rededi¬
cate themselves to furthering the
purpose for which the Sorority
was founded back in 1929—they
point their sights to the future and
the national convention which
comes in August.
This year, the sorors will en¬
joy that truly traditional southern
atmosphere that permeates the
spirit of all who are privileged
to visit that section of the coun-
try, for the convention will be
held in the historic city of New
Orleans, August 10 to 14. Alpha
Rho Chapter of New Orleans and
Beta Theta Chapter of Baton
Rouge are the hostess chapters.
Mrs. Lynn G. Norris of New Or¬
leans is general chairman, and her

Race Amity Day
Set For June 9
WILMETTE, HI. — Race Amity
Day as an annual national obr-erv-
vance has been inaugurated by tire
National Spiritual Assembly of the
Baha'is of the United States for
the promotion of higher standards
of inter-racial relationship and of
true understanding of the oneness
of all mankind.
To be observed each year on the
second Sunday in June, Race
Amity Day will this year, on June
9, call for special activity in all
1500 localities in the nation where
Baha’is now reside. Men of good
will everywhere are not only in¬
vited but urged to participate.
Although problems of race have
long been with America, they have
now become dangerously acute and
complex, the assembly asserted in
is initiatory statement. “What is
of vital concern for the well-being
of one segment of the human race
is now of vital concern for all.
Inter-racial relationships today are
no longer "h matter of domestic
concern, but have become of much
consequence in distant lands.”
“We see no way for the solu¬
tion of our own nation’s problem,
or even for the establishment of
abiding world peace until there is
recognition of the unity of the hu¬
man race, and spiritually moti¬
vated actions growing out of this
recognition,” the assembly con¬
tinued. "If we are to follow a bold,
decisive, sincere and wise course,
we must first cleanse hearts, out
own included, of prejudice and
racial animosity which are so con¬
trary to the will of God.”
The first race amity convention
between the colored and white
races held in this country and
probably in the world was spon-
by Baha’is in Washington,

There has been a
evolution of inter-racial activity
throughout Baha’is communities
since that time and adherence to
a policy of no racial separation
within all Baha’i groups. One of
the purposes of the present Ten-
Year, world-wide Spiritual Cru- 1
is the promotion of inter-racial
amity. “The oneness of mankind
in all its implications of religious
and racial unity is the pivot
around which the teachings of th«
Baha’i World Faith revolve,” the
assembly explained.
