An Era of Unprecedented Activity |
|
It is a great pleasure and privilege for me to renew the bonds
of fellowship and affection that have always united our
hearts in the service of our beloved Master. I need not recall
to your minds the warm and abiding place which that gifted
6
Dominion has always occupied in our Beloved’s heart, and
the high hopes he cherished for its future contribution
towards the triumph of the Movement in those distant
regions of the earth.

I am sure the hour has struck when those dearly-beloved
pioneers of the Master’s Cause, scattered throughout the
length and breadth of that vast and promising land, should
unite, consolidate their forces, and effectively combine for the
laying of a firm foundation for the future progress of their noble
task. It is my earnest hope and my most cherished desire
that at the forthcoming Convention the vigour and enlightened
efforts of the Baha’i youth of India, coupled with the generous
support and devotion of the old beloved Parsee friends,
and reinforced by the vast numbers of the ardent followers
of the Faith in Burma, may, by imparting power and brilliancy
to its proceedings, herald an era of unprecedented activity
for the ultimate recognition of the Cause by the peoples
of that country.

I shall welcome with genuine satisfaction every effort which
that talented and untiring servant of Baha’u’llah, our highly-esteemed
sister Mrs. Stannard, may exert in this connection,
and would feel truly gratified to learn of her determination
to play a conspicuous part in the presentation of the
Cause to the eyes of the enlightened public. May the sustaining
grace of God, the power of Baha’u’llah, and the loving counsels
of our beloved ‘Abdu’l-Bahá guide you and aid you in
your mighty endeavours for the accomplishment of your
task.

|
I shall eagerly await any particulars you might wish to
send me regarding your various activities in the service of the
Cause, and I trust that during the interval between now and
Ridvan a complete and careful arrangement for the successful
conduct of the coming Convention will have been drawn
by all the friends and assemblies of India and Burma, and
to which, I assure you, I shall be most pleased to contribute
my humble share of cooperation and advice.
