in the darkest days of my life, has earned her the
title already conferred on her father--Sutherland Maxwell has left a
legacy, and achieved a position excelled by only a few among the
supporters of the Faith of Baha'u'llah throughout the eleven decades of
its existence.
Inspired by the example and the accomplishments of those of its members
who have distinguished themselves in the Holy Land, on the European
continent and in both the northern and southern continents of the Western
Hemisphere this community must forge on, with thanksgiving and redoubled
zeal, on the road leading it to a still more glorious destiny in the years
immediately ahead. That it may press forward, conquer still greater
heights, plumb greater depths of consecration, spread wider and wider the
fame of the Cause of God is the cherished desire of my heart and the
object of my constant supplication.
SHOGHI.
Letter of September 19, 1952
Haifa, Israel,
September 19, 1952.
To the Baha'i's who were gathered at the Ontario Summer School Conference.
The beloved Guardian has received your loving letter of August 9th, and
has instructed me to write you on his behalf.
He was most happy to learn that it was possible for so large a number of
the friends to attend, and that such a spirit of love and unity was
present amongst them; also that a number of the attracted friends have
been so touched by the spirit of the Conference, that they have declared
their intention of enlisting their services in the Pathway of Baha'u'llah.
The Guardian was made happy also to learn that several of the believers
have responded to the call for pioneers. A great bounty and a great
responsibility will be given the Canadian believers within the coming few
months, with the launching of the Ten Year Plan, and a firm foundation in
the teaching field must be laid now, so that the friends will be fully
equipped to shoulder their tasks, both at home and abroad, during the
coming World Crusade.
The Guardian will pray for each one of you.
With loving Baha'i greetings,
R. RABBANI.
May the Almighty guide your steps, remove all obstacles from your path,
and enable you to win great and memorable victories in the service of His
glorious Faith.
Your true brother,
SHOGHI.
