ake. The condition of the world
today is such that it is obvious no political solution to its problems is
going to be found. We Baha'is must therefore concentrate on Baha'u'llah's
World Order--the true solution.

He assures you he will pray your teaching labours may be very successful.
He will also pray for your dear mother's welfare.

With warmest greetings,

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your letter of October 28 has been received, and our beloved Guardian has
instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

First, let me say how very deeply he appreciates the services you have
been rendering our glorious Faith in Australia, and particularly Perth,
during the past two years. Your trip has been of real assistance to the
teaching work, and it pleased him greatly.

Regarding Mr. ...: it was with the approval of the Guardian that his name
was removed from the voting list. It is very bad for the Cause to have a
member of the Community, actively, in the public eye, teaching the Faith,
and at the same time showing dishonest characteristics. We cannot possibly
say that because a person also has many virtues, faults as grave as lying
and dishonourable conduct regarding money, can be overlooked! This means
that we tolerate as representatives of our Faith people who flagrantly
disobey its laws and fundamental teachings. This does not mean there is no
hope for Mr. ...; let him change his conduct, if he really loves the
Cause, and then a way will be opened for him to again be active. But the
change must be real and obvious; mere protestations will serve no purpose.

He urges you to continue your services in the teaching field in New
Zealand, and also to write to the friends in Australia who are disturbed
about Mr. ..., and strengthen their faith and determination.

With warmest greetings,
R. Rabbani

[From the Guardian:]

_May the Almighty, Whose Cause you serve with such zeal and devotion,
reward you for your labours, and graciously assist you to win great
victories for His Faith and its institutions,_
