Letter of 28 June 1926 |
|
Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of
those few kind words of love you all signed and sent. The
picture which your secretary sent under a separate cover
was also received. He hopes that more of such congresses
will be held in that land and the youth awakened to the duty
that has been laid upon them. Unless they are aroused,
unless they begin to feel their responsibility, unless they rise
to active and effective service, the Cause will not really
spread and quickly attain its desired aim.

The geographical position of Germany has given her a
unique position in the spread of the Cause in Europe. She
stands actually in the center of that continent and from it
can branch out tentacles which will gradually unite the
whole Europe. The signs that she can undertake such a task
are clear. We see there the largest number of the European
Bahá’ís most active and promising. The only thing is, that
the more united they are, the more devoted and steadfast in
their faith they become, the sooner they will attain their goal
and bring their task to a successful and glorious ending.
|

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to assure you of his prayers. He
hopes that the German friends will leave a memorable
32
record on the annals of the Cause and fully justify the
expectations the Master had in their spiritual future….

Your most welcome letter has rejoiced my heart. Your
magnificent endeavours, your tenacity of purpose, your
firmness of faith, the ardour of your love and your grasp of
the Divine Teachings are assets which I greatly prize and
value. My hope and prayer is that Bahá’u’lláh may shower
upon you His infinite blessings that the promise of our dear
Master may erelong be fulfilled and that Germany may arise
with one voice and one mind to champion the Cause of God
and in the spiritual realm direct the nations of the earth to
the path of true Brotherhood and Peace. Yours is a great
privilege and a noble mission; may He enable you to achieve
your heart’s desire.
