e as many ways and means as possible for prosecuting your teaching
plans on a wide scale and covering a wide field. Now that your country is
in such a state of despair, and the people have suffered so deeply, their
hearts are more receptive, as you pointed out in your letter, and
therefore at this time they must be approached with the Divine Message
before internal integration and new problems or new possibilities arise to
sidetrack their attention. He hopes that you will continually urge the
friends to arise and teach, that you will devise ways and means (such as
the summer-school and various conferences, committees, etc.) of training
more of them--particularly the youth--as public speakers and teachers and,
in short, leave no stone unturned in prosecuting this major task.

Hand in hand with this intensification of the teaching work must go the
multiplication of groups and their development into Spiritual assemblies.

Another important matter to which he wishes to draw your special attention
is that of the Nat. Baha'i Headquarters in Frankfurt. He fully realizes
the obstacles which must be overcome in order to carry out this historic
project, but feels sure that Baha'u'llah will help and guide you to find a
suitable spot and make preliminary arrangements. Ten thousand pounds is
now reposing in the special fund he has established in Tihran for the
rehabilitation of the Faith in Germany and the relief of the dear friends
there. A considerable part of this he himself has contributed to this
community which both the Master and he love so dearly--so you see the means
to help you carry out the many great tasks confronting you are there. He
is most anxious that this money should reach you, and hopes ways can soon
be found of sending it to your assembly; you should constantly bear this
in mind, and let him know of any possible means you find of transmitting
this sum.

I need not assure you of how dear your work is to the heart of our
Guardian, of how eagerly he receives news of your activities, of how much
he appreciates your many self-sacrificing and exhausting labours for the
promotion of our beloved Cause! You are very often remembered in his
prayers, and he feels sure that the Master is extending you His own aid in
serving His Faith in that country He loved so much....

[From the Guardian:]

Dearly-beloved co-workers:

It is such a joy, mingled with feelings of deep thankfulness to
Baha'u'llah, to be able to resume di
