Letter of 7 January 1938 44 |
Our welcome guest Th. Emeric Salas has duly presented to our
beloved Guardian your letter of December 19th which you had
written him on behalf of the Vienna Bahá’í Assembly. He has
read it, together with the accompanying letter addressed to your
Assembly by Dr. Ziemand, with the utmost care and deepest
appreciation, and wishes you to assure your fellow-members of
his gratitude for the efforts they are so devotedly exerting for the
further promotion of the Faith throughout Austria.
|
He welcomes indeed Dr. Ziemand’s offer to undertake some
Bahá’í translations into German, specially as the German believers
are no longer able to arrange for the translation and publication
of any Bahá’í book. He also hopes that this will serve as a
means for deepening Dr. Ziemand’s interest in the Teachings, and
to inspire him to eventually join actively the Cause.
|
As regards the hundred dollars which have been anonymously
donated to your Assembly for the publication fund; the Guardian
would advise, that part of this sum be expended on the printing
of the pamphlet on “World Religion”, and that written by Dr.
Esslemont “What is the Bahá’í Movement?”, and the rest put aside
for use in the future.
|
I wish to assure you and your dearly-beloved co-workers in Vienna
of my constant prayers for your success in the magnificent efforts
you are all exerting for the spread and protection of this sacred and
45
precious Cause. You are often in my thoughts and I will continue to
supplicate ardently and affectionately on your behalf. Rest assured
and persevere.
