as upon these same youth will devolve the many and heavy responsibilities
of the future when the Baha'is will be called upon to demonstrate to their
fellow-men the perfection of Baha'u'llah's laws and World Order in such a
manner that bewildered humanity will turn to them as their only refuge.

[From the Guardian:]

I was greatly cheered and heartened by the expressions of devotion,
determination and loyalty conveyed in the welcome message enclosed in your
letter, attesting the significant spirit that animates the Baha'i youth of
India. They are indeed the object of my unfailing solicitude and of my
ardent and constant prayers. I feel proud of the work which they are so
strenuously promoting. Baha'u'llah is indeed well pleased with them, and
our Beloved Master will no doubt reinforce their labours. May their work
prosper, and their numbers increase, and their influence extend and their
enterprises be consolidated and their highest hopes be fulfilled.

The young Baha'is of India must take part in all the work of the Indian
Baha'i Community, whether it be in teaching the Cause, pioneering in new

for all that they will have to do in the future.

the young Baha'is of Karachi will play an ever-increasing part in the
spread and consolidation of the Faith in that city and nearby centres, and
arise and help lighten the load of the older believers who have so
patiently and tirelessly served the Cause in that land.

He is greatly pleased to note the progress which the young Baha'is of
India are making. Year by year he sees them growing stronger in faith,
more conscious of their duties and privileges as Baha'is; more anxious to
develop their knowledge of the teachings and their capacity to serve in
the administration.

He strongly feels that now is the time for them to arise and follow the
example of their American brothers and
