Formation of an Assembly in Lahore |
He is pleased to learn of the possibility of establishing an
Assembly in Lahore in the near future. He would urge you,
and through you your fellow-members in the N.S.A., to make a
special effort to bring about such a formation as soon as conditions
are found to be favourable. He hopes that the establishment
of a local Assembly in so important and central a town
in India will greatly help the expansion of the Faith, and will
consolidate the foundations of its institutions throughout that
country.

He wishes me to congratulate you, and through you your
fellow-members in the N.S.A., for the steps you have taken for
the registration of the Delhi, Calcutta, Rangoon and other local
Assemblies. He hopes that by the end of the year six out of
the eight Assemblies will be duly registered. Needless to say
that the obtention of such an official recognition from the
authorities is an historic step in the development of the Administrative
Order of the Faith throughout India and Burma, and
one which shall greatly enhance its prestige, and consolidate its
position in the eyes of the public. May Baha’u’llah continue
to guide and assist your efforts for the fulfilment of this task.

The Guardian is also very much gratified to learn that the
N.S.A. is considering the possibility of establishing a local
55
Assembly in Lucknow. He trusts that in Jaunpur too an
Assembly will be formed very soon, and that through these two
valuable additions to the list of local Baha’i Assemblies, the
administrative work of the Cause in India will make further
and steady advancement.

In connection with the Teaching School which the N.S.A. is
planning to start, the Guardian wishes me to express his approval,
as well as his appreciation of this important action taken
by your Assembly for the extension of their teaching work. He
is also very pleased at the news of the teaching tour undertaken
by Prof. Pritam Singh throughout Northern India and Bengal.
He is praying for the success of this trip, and cherishes the hope
that it may serve to bring into the Cause people of capacity
and of true spiritual vision.
