. Perhaps, if we had endeavoured more, if we had
sacrificed to a greater extent, if, following the explicit wish of the
Master, we had sought to spread the Cause even more than we have done,
Mrs. White and her like could not criticise us to such an extent and say
that the administration has killed the spirit. Let us therefore take a
lesson from what has passed and render to the Cause services still unseen
in the history of the movement.

In closing may I assure you of Shoghi Effendi's prayers and loving
greetings,...

[From the Guardian:]

My dearly-beloved friends:

The expression of your loyalty and perseverance has rejoiced my heart. You
are truly the heroic pioneers of the Cause of God. I will supplicate for
each one of you at the Beloved's Shrine, that your understanding of the
Faith may deepen, and that each of you may grow to become a shining star
in the firmament of our beloved Cause.

Your true brother,
Shoghi

LETTER OF 14 JUNE 1930

14 June 1930

Dear Dr. Muehlschlegel:

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated
31-5-30. Concerning his translation of the Iqan, Shoghi Effendi has
finished it, but it needs going over and retyping, and this he cannot as
before summer. By the next autumn he believes it will be ready for
publication.

Shoghi Effendi would therefore advise you to wait until then before you
take any decision as to your German translation.

Shoghi Effendi much appreciates the service you are rendering. The Iqan is
the most important book written on the spiritual significance of the
Cause. I do not believe any person can consider himself well versed in the
teachings unless he has studied it thoroughly. To publish it therefore in
a comprehensive German will be one of the greatest services rendered to
the Cause in that land...

In closing may I assure you of Shoghi Effendi's loving greetings and best
wishes....

My dear co-worker:

I trust that the day will soon come when you will be able to visit Persia
and meet the Baha'is and visit the shrines of the martyrs. I pray that the
Beloved may guide your steps, cheer your heart and bless your efforts.

Your true brother,
Shoghi
