LETTER OF SEPTEMBER 25TH, 1936
September 25th, 1936
Dear Miss Brooks,
Our able and indefatigable co-worker Mr. Siegfried Schopflocher is on a
tour to Australia, India and the Near East, and by the time this letter
reaches you he may be already in your midst.
The Guardian wishes your N.S.A. to arrange for him to visit all the
centers in Australia and if possible in New-Zealand too, and to make every
effort to render his stay amongst you as abundant in its results as
possible.
Mr. Schopflocher is surely known to you and to many friends in Australia.
He is truly one of the most distinguished believers in the West. He has a
deep knowledge of the Cause, and specially of the Administration, and has
contributed a unique share towards its establishment and consolidation in
the States. For many years a member of the American N.S.A., he revealed
such great qualities of heart and mind as very few of his fellow-members
were able to manifest. He supported valiantly and generously, and through
both moral and financial means, the various institutions of the Cause, and
in particular the institution of the Baha'i Fund which, as you can well
realize, is the foundation stone of every phase of Baha'i activity.
In this connection it should be remembered that it was mainly due to his
unfailing and most generous assistance that the Temple in Wilmette was
built. The friends owe him indeed a great debt, and can never be too
grateful for what he has accomplished, and is still so splendidly
accomplishing, for the Faith in the West.
The Guardian hopes, nay he feels confident, your Assembly, as well as all
the friends will extend a most cordial welcome to this dear and
distinguished Servant of the Cause, and will fully avail yourselves of
this splendid opportunity that has been offered you to further enrich the
field of your experiences in the Faith.
With warmest greetings,
Yours in His Service,
H. Rabbani.
