a victorious conclusion for their Six-Year Plan by 1944.

[From the Guardian:]

I have been greatly heartened in my arduous task by the remarkable
evidences of activity, devotion and perseverance which the believers in
India have lately manifested, and by the manner in which they have arisen
to promote the cause of our Beloved, and extend the range of its
institutions. I admire, their spirit, and feel truly proud of their
achievements. The field is indeed vast, and the problems manifold, but the
spirit they have demonstrated will, if kept alive, enable them to surmount
every obstacle. My prayers will continue to be offered on their behalf and
particularly for those who are planting the banner of the Faith in virgin
territories. How glorious their task, how meritorious their
accomplishments.

Future is Blessed and Glorious

He was very relieved to hear from Mr. Butt that the Burmese Baha'is were
all safe, and he trusts that, in spite of the grave dangers now so near
them, God will continue to over-shadow them and protect them in His mercy
and wisdom.

We Baha'is are indeed most blessed in that we know that, however dark the
days immediately ahead of the human race, the future is blessed and
glorious. It is for this future that the believers must labour day and
night, heedless of the state of the world and the dangers threatening.

The Guardian will continuously pray that Baha'u'llah will strengthen and
guide the Indian friends to succeed in their teaching plans, and to
persevere in their efforts until they have completed the Six-Year Plan.

[From the Guardian:]

In these days when perils are fast gathering about India and Burma my
heart and my thoughts turn increasingly towards the friends, and
particularly those who are vigorously and devotedly promoting the
interests of the Six-Year Plan. I will specially and fervently pray for
them all, that their vision may not be obscured, that their efforts may
not diminish, that their courage many remain undaunted, and their
steadfastness and loyalty unshaken. The greater their problems and
anxieties and the more formidable the obstacles in their way, the more
glorious and abundant will be the recompense and blessings that will be
bestowed upon them by their all-seeing, their all-bountiful, all-powerful
Master.
