"Registered Aug. 7, 1928 Trade-Mark 254,271 United States Patent Office
National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States and Canada
of New York, N. Y. Application filed March 10, 1928. Serial No. 262,923.
BAHA'I STATEMENT To the Commissioner of Patents: National Spiritual
Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States and Canada, a common-law
corporation, organized and operated under the declaration of trust and doing
business at... As we read and re-read the statement, we are lost in a sea of
amazement. We rub our eyes, we fidget, we feel restless; we wonder
whether all this is not a nightmare--impossible, incredible. We stagger, and
search in our consciousness for an explanation; then, completely baffled, we
look up into the face of Mr. Horace Holley. Maybe he will tell us what this
means! He smiles, triumphantly pointing to the signature, and we read:
National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States and Canada
by Horace Holley, Secretary.... There is a stake on the *source* of the
Bahai Cause and its owner-proprietor is the National Spiritual Assembly
of the Bahais of the United States and Canada. The *password* given to
mankind by Baha-O-Llah, to be used for the regeneration of nations, is
in the possession of the Bahai administrators" (145-146).
