Note 67

67. revert to the people of &Baha # 42 &Baha'u'llah provides for the possibility that the line of &Aghsan would terminate prior to the establishment of the Universal House of Justice. He designated that in such a situation "endowments shall revert to the people of &Baha". The term "people of &Baha" is used with a number of different meanings in the &Baha'i Writings. In this instance, they are described as those "who speak not except by His leave and judge not save in accordance with what God hath decreed in this Tablet". Following the passing of Shoghi Effendi in 1957, the Hands of the Cause of God directed the affairs of the Cause until the election of the Universal House of Justice in 1963 (see note 183).
