rs, suffer from
the state of society, we cannot but derive inspiration from the fact that
this very chaos is a testimony to the strength and potency of the Divine
Remedy brought by Baha'u'llah....

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty Whose Cause you are serving in such a vital sphere of
Baha'i activity, guide, bless and sustain you, remove the formidable
obstacles that stand in your path, and enable you to win great and
memorable victories for its institutions,

Your true and grateful brother,

He will certainly pray for dear Mrs ... and her son who so tragically took
his life.

When a child is old enough to declare his intention of being a Baha'i he
is also old enough to leave the church. The Guardian does not see any harm
in what you did; the parents accepted that Baha'i writings should be read
at the funeral.

Please give the Guardian's loving greetings to all the Munich believers,
and assure them of his prayers on their behalf. Urge them to persevere in
their teaching efforts.

The Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Berlin

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Your letters of 16 July, signed by the friends, and 21 July, signed by the
secretary, and your photograph were received by our beloved Guardian, and
he was very happy to hear from you, and to learn dear Mrs. Ashton had
visited you.

He often thinks of you, and it rejoices his heart to see you are
faithfully serving the Faith, and that you have a Spiritual Assembly, in
spite of the many difficulties you have passed through in Berlin.

He assures you he will ardently pray for your welfare, protection, and the
success of your Baha'i work.

In these days the most important thing of all is to teach the Faith to the
people, for the world's salvation can only be found in the Plan of
Baha'u'llah....

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers:

I was so pleased to receive your letter, and I greatly value the
sentiments you have expressed. You are often in my thoughts and prayers,
and I will continue to supplicate the Beloved to protect and sustain you,
remove all obstacles from your path, and enable you to achieve your
heart's desire in His service,

Your true and grateful brother

Shoghi
