Dear Baha'i Sister:

The Beloved Guardian has been very deeply impressed with the latest book
of our dear departed co-worker, Hand of the Cause, George Townshend,
"Christ and Baha'u'llah". If you have not received copies, you should send
to England for them, so that the Friends may be familiar with its
contents.

This book outlines clearly the relationship of Christ and Baha'u'llah, and
presents the manner in which the Baha'i Faith is setting up the Kingdom of
God, which the Christians are praying for.

The Guardian feels that your Assembly should make very wide use of this
book. You should secure publicity regarding it in the Newspapers, book
reviews, where possible. Copies should be sent to the Religious leaders,
particularly to the Lutheran high Dignitaries.

This book is a challenge to religious leaders, and of course, should be
sent, also to those who opposed the Temple Land sale. It may bring some
opposition and criticism, but in the long run, it will produce excellent
results for the Faith.

The Guardian sends you his loving Greetings....

LETTER OF 19 APRIL 1957

19 April 1957

Dear Baha'i Sister:

When His Excellency Mr. Ollenhauer was in Israel, in accordance with the
suggestion of your Assembly, effort was made to contact him, and invite
him to visit the Shrine and Gardens on Mt. Carmel.

Unfortunately actual contact was not made. Mr. Ioas spent a day in
Jerusalem trying to meet him, but he was so tied up with Government
Officials it was impossible. Mr. Ioas, however, left a note for him, in
his hotel, welcoming him to Israel, and inviting him to visit Haifa, and
our Shrines and Gardens. We gave him also, the Greetings of the National
Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Germany, whose headquarters are in
Frankfurt.

Attached is letter received from one of his party presumably his
Secretary, thanking us for the Greeting, and saying he had seen the Shrine
and Gardens in company with the Mayor of Haifa, when he was in the City.

The Beloved Guardian thought you would wish to have his letter, and know
of the action taken here to effect a meeting....

You may retain his letter in your files.
