tographs of its opening, and of the
Centenary dinner, which you are sending him. Likewise he was pleased to
see it is being put to such active use and teaching classes, public
meetings, etc. being held in it.

He cannot stress too much the vital importance of the teaching work, and
he hopes that all the believers, however circumscribed their means,
however unqualified they may feel themselves to be, will arise and
contribute their share to this all-important work. The Cause has, all
things considered, made remarkable progress in Australia and New Zealand
of late; but the united efforts of all the friends are required to spread
the Divine Message during these moving and dark times the world is passing
through. They must fix their eyes on the abject misery of humanity and,
forgetful of their own limitations, deliver the Teachings to their fellow
countrymen.

He assures you and your co-workers that he deeply appreciates your devoted
services, and will constantly pray for the progress of the Faith in those
distant and important lands.

With Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani.

P.S. He hopes that the N.S.A. watches over dear Mother Dunn. She is now
advancing in years and deserves the greatest love and consideration in
view of the imperishable services she and Father Dunn rendered the Cause
there.

P.P.S. Your previous letter, dated Aug. 18th as well as the photostat
copies connected with the incorporation of the N.S.A. reached him. He was
delighted at this further evidence of the efficiency of that body and the
manner in which it is consolidating its foundation.

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers:

The teaching responsibilities confronting the Australian and New Zealand
believers are of supreme importance and of extreme urgency. Now that the
basis of the Administrative Order has been firmly laid, and fully
understood, and the national Haziratu'l-Quds established in the leading
city of the Australian Commonwealth, the attention of the members of the
entire community must be focussed on the teaching work--the promotion of
which is the ultimate object of the entire machinery of the Administrative
Order and its subsidiary institutions and agencies. The multiplication of
Baha'i groups, the steady increase in the number of local assemblies, the
dissemination of literature, the dispersal of the believers, no matter how
small their number, to important centers throughout the continent
constitute the vital task of the
