n the United States originated in the same informal
manner as Yerrinbool; they were (and some still are) the property of
individual believers who resided on them, but they are administered by
Committees appointed by the N.S.A. and which usually include, out of
courtesy and consideration, the owners. The American friends also desired
to have many more Summer Schools, but the Guardian has so far not
permitted them to add to the number, as it dissipates the energy and funds
of the believers and would at present weaken those already existing.

He feels that the duty of your Assembly is to not give up Yerrinbool
because of any inharmony over it, but to administer and support it
properly and remove the inharmony. You should appoint a Committee for the
School, purchase any extra equipment needed for the comfort and
accommodation of the attendants, and he feels sure the Boltons will
cooperate with you in this matter, as they are eager to have the property
be used by the believers.

Generally speaking he does not encourage the erection of buildings in
memory to individual believers at the present time. But as those at
Yerrinbool serve a useful purpose and that the memory of dear Father Dunn
commemorates the life of the man who brought the Faith to the Continent of
Australia, we may welcome it in the spirit it was given.

As to what uses should be made of the building purchased by the S.A. of
Adelaide, he leaves the decision to your body and that Assembly. He hopes
that at a future date it can be used as a Summer School.

It is the duty of the N.S.A. to exercise the greatest wisdom, forbearance
and tact in handling the affairs of the Cause. Many of the differences
which arise between the believers are due to their immaturity, their
extreme zeal and sincerity.

He will pray for you all in the Holy Shrines, that the Beloved may assist
and strengthen you in the discharge of your sacred duties to the Faith and
its adherents in Australia and New Zealand.

With Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani.

LETTER OF AUG. 8TH, 1945

Haifa, Aug. 8th, 1945.

Dear Baha'i Sister:

The beloved Guardian has instructed me to answer your letters dated June
12th, 15th and 25th, and to acknowledge receipt of the numerous enclosures
you forwarded with them.

As he has already expressed to you in his recent messages he greatly
regretted the tone of certain recent communications from the N.
