ished very bright hopes for the future of the German Baha'is. His promises and prophecies will surely be fulfilled, and the Holy Faith not only be reestablished in Germany but grow and expand as never before. The Guardian has urged the American N.S.A. to supply the German Baha'is with literature as soon as possible; this will enable you to bring the teachings to your sore-stricken countrymen, and enlist them under the banner of Baha'u'llah. You may be sure the Guardian's loving prayers surround you all and sustain you in your labours for the Cause....

I will do everything I possibly can to help it in its task and assist it in the achievement of its high destiny.
