and difficulties. The individuals and assemblies must
learn to cooperate and to cooperate intelligently, if they desire to
adequately discharge their duties and obligations towards the Faith. And
no such cooperation is possible without mutual confidence and trust.
With loving greetings from the Guardian to you and to the members of the
N.S.A. and with the assurance of his prayers on behalf of you all,
Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.
[From the Guardian:]
Dear and valued co-worker:
I cannot refrain from expressing in person my deep sense of gratitude and
indebtedness to the beloved co-workers in that land for their splendid
achievements in both the teaching and administrative spheres of Baha'i
activity. I feel truly proud of your accomplishments. I will continue to
supplicate for every one of you the Beloved's imperishable blessings.
Rest assured and persevere.
Shoghi.
LETTER OF SEPTEMBER 26TH, 1935
September 26th, 1935.
Beloved Baha'i co-worker,
On behalf of the Guardian I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 8th of July last, with the enclosed copy of the minutes of the
N.S.A. of the Baha'is of Australia and New-Zealand. I wish, in particular,
to express his gratification at the news of the success of the last
meeting of your N.S.A. held in Sydney. It gives him, indeed, much pleasure
and encouragement to realize that your Assembly meetings are conducted
with such a good deal of order and efficiency, and above all, in such a
perfect spirit of unity and fellowship--the few other obstacles and
difficulties left, he feels confident, will in due time disappear. The
foundation has been now firmly laid down, and the work is bound to develop
and expand. The friends should, therefore, be confident, and should exert
their utmost that the institutions they have so painstakingly and
laboriously established should flourish and yield their fruit.
In connection with the N.S.A.'s decision regarding the appointment of Mrs.
Axford and Mr. Inman to keep records of Australian and New-Zealand
activities for the "Baha'i World"; the Guardian wishes you to assure your
fellow-members in the assembly that he fully endorses their choice. He
also wishes you to impress the newly-appointed correspondents with the
vital importance of their task, and to urge them to acquit themselves of
it with thoroughness, efficiency and vigour.
Regarding dear Mr. Hyde Dunn's health; Shoghi Effendi is grieved b
