is mail is
piling up alarmingly, he does want to send you a word of appreciation for
your fine, constructive spirit and the services you are rendering the
Faith.

Vicious criticism is indeed a calamity. But its root is lack of faith in
the system of Baha'u'llah (i.e. the administrative order) and lack of
obedience to Him--for He has forbidden it. If the Baha'is would follow the
Baha'i laws in voting, in electing, in serving, and in abiding by assembly
decisions, all this waste of strength thru criticizing others could be
diverted into cooperation and achieving the Plan. Keep on trying to point
this out to them!

With Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your two letters of May 25th have been received, and the beloved Guardian
thanks you for them, and for the loving sympathy which you express.

He hopes that you will make every effort to attend the New Delhi
Conference, as it will be a very historic occasion, and the more Baha'is
from Australia and New Zealand that are present, the better.

You should get in touch with the Indian National Spiritual Assembly as
regards accommodation etc.

This has been a very tiring winter for the beloved Guardian. He has had so
many pilgrims, and so many problems locally, and an ever-increasing amount
of work, so I will make this letter brief.

He assures you your services are deeply appreciated, and that he will
remember you in his prayers.

With warm Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

_May the Beloved bless, guide and sustain you, and enable you to promote
the best interests of His Faith,_

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your letter of December 21st with enclosure has been received by the
beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

He is happy to know that the New Zealand Haziratu'l-Quds is being made
attractive for the many activities that will take place in this Center,
and he hopes it will become the means of the greatest unity and loving
cooperation among the friends.

He assures all the friends in New Zealand of his deep appreciation of
their devoted services.
