The Guardian attaches great importance to the teaching conference(33) ...
and feels that as many friends as possible should attend. He thinks it
will be a great stimulant to the Faith, and certainly foundations can be
laid for the rapid expansion of the Cause... This will be a historic
event, and one that should lay the foundation for great victories in the
future.

The beloved Guardian has approved the attendance of one of the Hands of
the Cause in Asia ... Mr. Zikru'llah _Kh_adem...

[Letter of November 20, 1955]

Your loving letter was received (with the) copy of Miss Linfoot's report
to the National Assembly concerning the Teaching Conference held in Japan.

The Guardian was greatly delighted with the Conference and its results;
more particularly with the effect which it is going to have on the
teaching work of the entire area in the future.

It was a very historic gathering, because it marked the first time a
general conference regarding teaching matters had been held in Japan, and
furthermore was participated in by representatives of the other countries
in the area. It released a new power of the Spirit in that part of the
world which will certainly elevate the minds and hearts of the people and
attract many to the Cause.

The Guardian appreciates the sacrificial efforts made by all those who
undertook the development of the Conference, so that it might produce such
beneficial results.

The Guardian is hopeful that the conditions in Japan may not force many of
the pioneers to leave that territory. As you know, he attaches the utmost
importance to the teaching work in Japan; he anticipates that the Faith
will spread rapidly in that country. The help of the American Baha'is is
very essential; and he hopes therefore it will not be necessary for any of
them to leave.

[Letter of December 27, 1956]

The beloved Guardian feels the time is ripe for the settlement of the
Northern Island of Japan, and he wishes your Assembly to consider what
might be done to accomplish this before the coming Ridvan without in any
way interfering with the work now engaged in, in connection with the
establishment of the new National Assembly next Ridvan.

There are three tasks which the new National Assembly should undertake,
when it is formed, and that is the sending of pioneers into Sakhalin
Island, and Hainan Island; also
