s and varied sections
of the Indian population who have not received as yet the blessings which
the knowledge of the Cause confers. He is deeply grateful to them, and to
those who have, whether directly or indirectly, assisted them in the
pursuit of this truly noble aim.

The Guardian wishes also to express his heartfelt thanks to the Indian
N.S.A. for its splendid efforts for the extension of the teaching work
throughout India. The evidences of its warm and effective response to his
earnest appeal for the inauguration of a new systematized and nation-wide
teaching campaign in that country are indeed such as to give him fresh
hopes concerning the future expansion and consolidation of the Faith not
only in India and Burma but in the neighbouring regions where the light of
the Teachings has not yet penetrated. It is his sincere hope that the
National Assembly will, faithful to its pledge, continue exerting its
utmost for the furtherance of the cause of teaching in India, and
particularly in Southern India and Ceylon where there are almost no
centres at present. Nothing short of the unity, self sacrifice and
intelligent and systematized planning which the local and national
assemblies and also the individual believers may show forth throughout the
coming years can enable them to attain this vital teaching goal.

[From the Guardian:]

I hasten to assure you in person of my personal and intense satisfaction
and of my special and fervent prayers for these two stalwart pioneers who
have arisen to accomplish so noble a task in such difficult circumstances.
The hosts of the Abha Kingdom will assuredly guide and sustain them, and
will, if they persevere, crown their high endeavours with success. May
their example be followed by an increasingly large number of their fellow
workers.

Inflexible Determination Required

Now, that the teaching work is making a steady headway, the friends should
be on their guard lest they lose the opportunity they have of spreading
the Message in every corner throughout India and Burma.

In this connection, he feels, he must congratulate most warmly the members
of the N.S.A. for the valuable steps they have taken for the introduction
of the Cause in central and southern India.

[From the Guardian:]

The progress of the teaching activities initiated by your Assembly is
highly gratifying. Inflexible determination is required to carry it to a
successful conclusion. Th
