- Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 202
Quote of the Day
Istijlal 17 Izzat 183 B.E.
The second condition is that the members of the assembly should unitedly elect a chairman and lay down guide-lines and by-laws for their meetings and discussions. The chairman should have charge of such rules and regulations and protect and enforce them; the other members should be submissive, and refrain from conversing on superfluous and extraneous matters.
