Do not feel discouraged if your labours do not always yield an
abundant fruitage. For a quick and rapidly-won success is not
always the best and the most lasting. The harder you strive to
attain your goal, the greater will be the confirmations of
Bahá’u’lláh, and the more certain you can feel to attain success.
Be cheerful, therefore, and exert yourself with full faith and
confidence. For Bahá’u’lláh has promised His Divine assistance to
every one who arises with a pure and detached heart to spread
His Holy Word, even though he may be bereft of every human
knowledge and capacity, and notwithstanding the forces of
darkness and of opposition which may be arrayed against him.
The goal is clear, the path safe and certain, and the assurances of
Bahá’u’lláh as to the eventual success of our efforts quite emphatic.
Let us keep firm, and whole-heartedly carry on the great work
which He has entrusted into our hands.
