The Guardian has deeply appreciated your message dated
April 10th, and he has asked me to convey to you once more his
grateful thanks for the services you are so continually rendering
the Faith in your centre. The gratifying news has just reached
him of the opening of the first Convention of the Bahá’ís of
Australia and New-Zealand, and needless to say how deeply he
was moved by this historic step you have been inspired to take
for the consolidation of the Administration in your country. He
feels confident that through such remarkable evidences of the
self-sacrificing, heroic and united efforts of the Australian and
New Zealand believers an increasing number of hitherto skeptical
and unfriendly people will be gradually attracted to the Faith,
and some of them will eventually join the ranks of the faithful.
|
Assuring you again of the Guardian’s fervent prayers for the
continued expansion of your Bahá’í activities, and with his best
wishes and greetings to you and to all the friends in Adelaide,
|
Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.

Dear and valued co-worker:
|
I rejoice to learn of the momentous step the Bahá’ís of
Australia and New-Zealand have taken. They will surely be
reinforced by the hosts of the Kingdom, and deserve the praise
and admiration of their fellow-believers throughout the world.
Constancy, co-operation, unity and steadfast adherence to the
spiritual and administrative principles of the Faith are essential
during these days when the foundations of the Universal House
of Justice are being laid through your devoted efforts in your own
country. I will continue to pray for you from the depths of my
heart.
|
Your true brother,
Shoghi.
