nd to react
favourably on the further expansion and consolidation of the Faith in
these far-off lands. He is fervently supplicating Baha'u'llah that the
newly-elected members of the N.S.A.,(4) upon whom has been placed such a
tremendous responsibility, be assisted in the discharge of their sacred
obligations and duties to the Faith.

[From the Guardian:]

_Dear and valued co-worker:_

_The splendid reports you have sent me have been incorporated in the
manuscript and sent to the Baha'i World Committee in America. The
formation of the national assembly of Australia and New Zealand will no
doubt furnish you with new and refreshing material for your next report in
1936. I will pray for your success and deeply value the manifold and
constant services you are rendering the Cause of God._

_Your true and grateful brother, Shoghi_

Dear Baha'i Sister,

The Guardian was profoundly grieved to learn of the passing away of your
dear mother, and has directed me to convey to you and to the bereaved
members of your family, his heartfelt condolences and sympathy for this
severe loss which you have sustained.

Mrs Blundell's departure is, indeed, a loss not only to her family, but
also to the community of her fellow-believers in New Zealand. For in her
they have come to lose one of their oldest and most distinguished
co-workers.

The Guardian well remembers her pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and has
always cherished the hope that she would once more be enabled to visit the
shrines. But alas, her departed soul has taken its flight from this world,
leaving her friends and relatives in a state of profoundest grief. Their
only consolation now is the realization that through her painstaking and
sustained labours for the Cause in Auckland Mrs Blundell has left an
abiding monument to her memory, and one which will continue for many years
to come to inspire and strengthen them all in their collective endeavours
for the establishment of the Faith in New Zealand.

Shoghi Effendi is fervently praying for the soul of our departed sister,
and is entreating Baha'u'llah to give her her full share of divine
blessings in the other world.

May I also assure you of his ardent supplications for you, and for all the
friends in Auckland.

Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani
