The News Letter which you have lately initiated fulfills a very
vital function and has been started admirably well. I would urge
you to enlarge its scope, as much as your resources permit, that in
time it may devote a special section to every phase of your activities,
administrative, devotional, humanitarian, financial, educational and
otherwise. That it may attain its object it must combine the essential
qualities of accuracy, reliability, thoroughness, dignity and wisdom.
It should become a great factor in promoting understanding,
providing information on Bahá’í activity, both local and foreign, in
stimulating interest, in combating evil influences, and in upholding
and safeguarding the institutions of the Cause. It should be made
as representative as possible, should be replete with news, up-to-date
in its information, and should arouse the keenest interest among
believers and admirers alike in every corner of the globe. I cherish
great hopes for its immediate future, and I trust you will devote
your special attention to its development, and by devising well-conceived
and worldwide measures transform this News Letter into
what I hope will become the foremost Bahá’í Journal of the world.
