course the Convention can be convened in any place in Canada your
Assembly decides upon, even on the American frontier at a point en route
to Chicago.

The Guardian was most happy to hear of the excellent work some of the
Baha'is are doing with the Eskimos and the Indians, and considers their
spirit most exemplary. They are rendering a far greater service than they,
themselves, are aware of, the fruits of which will be seen, not only in
Canada, but because of their repercussions, in other countries where
primitive populations must be taught.

He feels that the opening for a Canadian believer to visit the Governor of
Greenland and his wife is extremely important.

The personality of the Baha'i who accepts this invitation should be
carefully considered, because to be a guest of people in a different
climate and environment, of a different nationality and speaking a
different language, so far away, might be a little trying, and of course
the impression that this Baha'i creates will be of infinite importance to
the Faith in its future development in Greenland. Whether ... makes the
sacrifice and goes, or some other individual is chosen, he urges your
Assembly to above all consider this matter tactfully and from the human
standpoint, rather than the religious one, if one can put it that way.

LAURENTIAN BAHA'I SCHOOL

Your Assembly must decide, as the Guardian already told dear Mr.
Schopflocher(23) when he was here, upon the advisability of maintaining
the Laurentian School(24), in an objective spirit. The Guardian can only
outline to you the principle, which is that Baha'i funds should not be
invested in building up a place that has dear associations for a number of
the friends, but is not going to really serve a large group of the
believers.

The Guardian's point is that National Bodies when creating national
institutions, should use sound judgment, because of the financial
investment involved. This is only reasonable.

Your Assembly must therefore decide what to do about the Laurentian
School, and you are free to make your own decisions.

He would be very happy to have the National Assembly maintain the grave of
dear Sutherland Maxwell(25). His association, not only with Canada and the
inception of the Faith there, but with the World Centre and the Shrine of
the Bab, naturally endears him to all the friends, and his grave should be
a national memorial. When the time comes to erect the tombstone, the
question
