ly very unfortunate that the material means do not permit you to
travel as much as you desire. But these days are exceptional. Better days
are sure to come, and you, as well as other souls who desire to serve,
will find the way open for them.

Meanwhile you can try and teach those you meet--people who are within easy
reach and who also need the spiritual enlightenment that the spirit and
teachings of the Cause provide.

The German people have true appreciation for spiritual matters and when
they are interested in a certain sphere they are not satisfied with a
shallow knowledge of it. They try to go deep in any subject they take up,
and once they are convinced of its truth are ready to devote all their
life to it. Such are the people that the Cause needs. Such should be the
souls that you should try and interest in the Faith.

[From the Guardian:]

I greatly value your past and present services, and cherish bright hopes
for your future contributions to the spread of our beloved Faith.
Persevere in your efforts, and, if possible, travel to different centres
in central and south-Eastern Europe, and do all you possibly can to
further the interests of the Faith. This work is highly meritorious. May
the Beloved inspire, sustain and bless you.

Your true brother,
Shoghi

LETTER OF 2 JANUARY 1933

Through Dr. Grossmann Shoghi Effendi has come to learn of your activities
in serving the Cause of God and diffusing its divine spirit in Frankfurt.
He therefore wished me to write you this short note and express his deep
appreciation.

He sincerely hopes that through your persistent efforts and God's infinite
guidance and blessings the Faith will be established in that city and many
earnest souls will cluster around its banner.

Consider what source of joy and gratification it should be to you to see
people, who have been for years seeking for the truth and craving to
obtain it, who look upon the prevailing conditions of the world with
distress and earnestly pray for salvation, find through you the object of
their quest and attain the peace, tranquillity and spiritual life which
they have longed for. The accomplishment of the task and the resulting
success will be an ample reward for all your strivings.
