Letter of 16 October 1944

16 October 1944

To the Bahá’ís who attended the Fourth Ontario Summer Conference

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your letter of August 6th with the good news it contained of the success of your conference and the large number of friends present reached the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
He is very happy to see with what awareness of their responsibilities and devotion the friends are facing this new Century we have just entered upon.
Although wonders have been achieved in the teaching field in Canada during the last seven years, great tasks still lie ahead in consolidating the new Spiritual Assemblies and forming additional ones. He hopes the Canadian Bahá’ís will forge ahead to new victories and fulfil the Master’s hopes for that great Dominion.

Assuring you all of his loving prayers for the success of your devoted labours,

Yours in His service,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers:

I was greatly cheered and heartened by your most welcome letter. I admire and feel deeply thankful for your splendid achievements. I will pray for you from the depths of my heart, and wish you to persevere in your noble task and endeavour continually to extend the range of your meritorious services,

Your true brother,

Shoghi
