The Guardian was immensely pleased and relieved when it became clear that
the Baha'is had obtained visas for Uganda, and were attending in large
numbers, and that hotel accommodation was available.

From the report he has received from Mr. Ioas and pilgrims, the Conference
was undoubtedly a tremendous success, and befittingly inaugurated the
round of celebrations during this Holy Year.

It is a great pity that there should have been so much unfavourable
publicity connected with the public meeting associated with the
Conference, and its attendance. One cannot, however, help but feel that
such an attitude was inevitable sooner or later, because there is no doubt
that the missionaries are beginning to feel the keenest resentment and a
certain degree of alarm, due to the success of our teaching methods in
Africa.

Your committee will no doubt face, in the days to come, many grave
problems; but the Guardian feels sure that, whatever happens, and whatever
attacks are made upon the Faith and its pioneers, the net result cannot
but be good for us in the long run, and can only serve to hasten the
spread of the Cause.

He feels that your committee has every right to feel immensely proud, and
grateful to God, for the success of your unremitting labours over such a
long period of time.

He was most happy to hear that Mr. Dudley Smith Kutendele is planning to
go and teach the Faith in Nyasaland, and will pray that his efforts may
meet with success in the end.

Your understanding of the treatment of polygamist converts to the Faith is
quite correct, but of course if anyone who is a Baha'i wishes to marry
more than one wife, he cannot do so. If they should disobey this law, then
the cases must be handled in the same way as the Persians do, which is
that these persons who become polygamists, break the laws of marriage.

As regards your question about the proper designation for the huts which
will be used by the believers in villages, as Baha'i Centres, he thinks
that, for the time being, until a more dignified structure can be erected,
they should be called "Baha'i Centre", and not Haziratu'l-Quds--the correct
name is Haziratu'l-Quds and not Hazira.

He was immensely pleased over the example shown by Enos Epyeru, in
withdrawing from political affiliation, and feels that some of the African
friends are showing a most exemplary spirit of devotion and loyalty. He
feels that a great potential strength lies in
