nce,
they should, by every means in their power, stimulate the spirit of
enterprise among the believers in order to further the teaching as well as
the administrative work of the Cause. They should endeavor by personal
contact and written appeals, to imbue the body of the faithful with a deep
sense of personal responsibility, and urge every believer, whether high or
low, poor or wealthy, to conceive, formulate and execute such measures and
projects as would redound, in the eyes of their representatives, to the
power and the fair name of this sacred Cause.

In my hours of prayer at the holy Shrines, I will supplicate that the
light of Divine Guidance may illumine your path, and enable you to utilize
in the most effective manner that spirit of individual enterprise which,
once kindled in the breasts of each and every believer and directed by the
discipline of the majestic Law of Baha'u'llah, imposed upon us, will carry
our beloved Cause forward to achieve its glorious destiny.

Your true brother,
SHOGHI.

Letter of April 12, 1927.

To the members of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the
United States and Canada:

Dearly-beloved friends:

Your recent communications, dated February 17 and March 2, 17 and 21, have
been received, and their perusal has served to heighten my admiration for
the unflinching determination which characterizes the concerted efforts
which you are exerting for the spread and consolidation of the Baha'i
Faith.

Inter-racial Amity

I have also received and read with the keenest interest and appreciation a
copy of that splendid document formulated by the National Committee on
inter-racial amity and addressed to all the Spiritual Assemblies
throughout the United States and Canada. This moving appeal, so admirable
in its conception, so sound and sober in its language, has struck a
responsive chord in my heart. Sent forth at a highly opportune moment in
the evolution of our sacred Faith, it has served as a potent reminder of
these challenging issues which still confront in a peculiar manner the
American believers.

As this problem, in the inevitable course of events, grows in acuteness
and complexity, and as the number of the faithful from both races
multiplies, it will become increasingly evident that the future growth and
prestige of the Cause are bound to be influenced to a very considerable
degree by the manner in which
