[Letter of November 14, 1928]
|
My dear and precious co-worker:
|
It always gives him (the Guardian) great pleasure to hear of the
progress of the Cause in distant lands and he prays for those who are
undertaking the task with great zeal and unfailing sacrifice. The
activities of such devoted souls will surely leave ever-lasting traces
on the history of man. The pioneer work is always the most difficult
and entails the greatest sacrifice. Be thankful to God for having chosen
you to undertake such a task. The Master always looked to the Eastern
countries as a ready field of service and promised a great harvest to
one who would sow the seed.

(in the Guardian’s handwriting)
|
My dear and precious co-worker:
|
Your letter has served to reveal once again the undying spirit of
devotion that animates you in the service of the Cause. My prayers
will be offered again for you at His Holy Shrine that you may be
assisted to establish permanently a Bahá’í Spiritual Assembly in that
land, and help that centre to get in close and constant touch with Assemblies
both in the East and West.

Your true brother, Shoghi
