[Letter of September 23, 1935] |
|
Regarding Mr. and Mrs. Torii, he (the Guardian) is immensely
grieved to learn of the passing away of their son Akira
1
, and wishes
you, therefore, to convey to them his heartfelt condolences and
sympathy for this cruel and unexpected loss they have sustained. Will
you also assure them of his prayers for the soul of their departed son,
that it may develop and receive its full share of Divine blessings in
the next world.

The Guardian has been very pleased to learn of Mr. Torii’s desire
to put the Japanese translation of the “New Era” into Braille for use
of his blind friends. He would urge you to encourage him to complete
the work as soon as possible, as it may prove of considerable help to
the spread of the Teachings throughout Japan.

Your past and present services are engraved upon my heart. The
Beloved is well-pleased with your constancy, your zeal and exemplary
devotion. I am proud of the spirit that so powerfully animates you in
His service. I will continue to pray for your success from the bottom
of my heart. Rest assured and persevere.
