Letter of 19 September 1952

19 September 1952

To the Bahá’ís who attended the Maritime Bahá’í Summer Conference

Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your letter of August 10th has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
He appreciates your loving greetings; and is confident that those who were privileged to attend this conference have left it, filled with renewed spiritual vitality to do all in their power in the teaching field.
Within a few brief months, the Canadian believers will be called upon to shoulder heavier responsibilities in the Path of Bahá’u’lláh, to be carried during the Ten Year Crusade; and the firmer the foundation laid now, the more confirmed will be the results of their labours both at home and abroad, with the launching of the great World Crusade.
He will remember you all in his loving prayers.

With warm Bahá’í greetings,

R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty bless your high and meritorious endeavours, guide and sustain you always, and enable you to promote the vital interests of His Faith and of its institutions,

Your true brother,

Shoghi
