nown to their fellow-Indians as followers of a new and glorious Faith. In
view of this he feels your Assembly should constantly exhort the friends
to be more conscious of their duties, and to be very careful of having
differences of opinion which are so strong as to lead to disputes and thus
humiliate our beloved Faith in the eyes of non-Baha'is. The public is
beginning to observe them, and they must therefore conduct themselves at
all times as befits those who bear the glorious Name of Baha. They must be
forgetful of self, but ever mindful of the Cause of God!

[From the Guardian:]

The rehabilitation of the community of the sore-stricken believers
throughout Burma constitutes the most urgent task of the Indian believers,
and is a direct challenge which they cannot ignore or neglect. The
reconstitution of dissolved assemblies, the extension of relief to the
needy, the promotion of the teaching work, the dissemination of Baha'i
literature, the construction of the Haziras, the re-establishment of
schools and committees are all vitally urgent, and should be carried out
fully, systematically, and with the utmost speed. I long to hear of the
progress of your labours in this important field, upon which the future
welfare of the Burmese community depends, and with which the destinies of
the Indian believers are closely interwoven. I will pray from the depths
of my heart that your meritorious efforts may soon be crowned with
magnificent success.

ever greater effort and sacrifice in the service of their beloved Faith.
The opportunity is unique and the rewards of Baha'u'llah inestimably
glorious.

[From the Guardian:]

My heart swells with joy, pride, and gratitude as I contemplate the range
of the services rendered in recent years by the Indian believers to the
Cause of Baha'u'llah. I particularly rejoice at the splendid initiative,
the magnificent zeal, the unconquerable spirit that have characterised
their recent understanding associated with the new Plan which they have
audaciously conceived, and which, I feel confident, they will prosecute
with exemplary vigour an
