“In this connection, the Guardian wishes to draw once more
your attention to the all-importance of his instructions to the
Western believers regarding association with Orientals. The
friends in the West must be wide awake, and be extremely
cautious when dealing with Easterners, particularly with those
who in the name of the Cause desire to satisfy their own desires
and ambitions. The first step which they should take in protecting
themselves against such mischief-makers is to insist that
they should obtain proper credentials from the Assembly of the
locality in which they live. This measure, he feels, is absolutely
essential and there can be no exception whatever to it.”
