the progress being made by the Japanese Baha'is in teaching
and in reaching people of importance, pleased him (the Guardian) greatly;
and he urges you all to persevere, and never lose heart. In his visits to
the Shrines, he will supplicate that Baha'u'llah may confirm your efforts,
and enlarge the scope of your activities.

He (the Guardian) feels by all means you should plan to remain in Japan
and buy a home, if possible. Your presence there has marked a turning
point in the work in that country.

It will interest you to know that there are Baha'is now in Formosa and
Indochina, and we hope an English believer will be able to go out to Hong
Kong later. Lights are going on in Asia.

He (the Guardian) was most happy to hear of the progress being made in
Japan, particularly in the new centers being opened to the Faith, such as
Yokohama and Kofu. He was also very happy to know that Miss Alexander is
now teaching in Kyoto.

Korea.

He wishes you and the friends in Tokyo to keep in close touch with the
friends in Korea. In fact, he wishes the Tokyo Assembly to undertake, as
one of their direct responsibilities, the assistance of the work in Korea,
sending if possible one or two pioneers to Korea. This will keep the
Center in Korea, (and even enable it to develop into an Assembly), until
such time as more American pioneers are sent to Korea.

The Guardian greatly values the services of the friends in Japan. He hopes
they will now treble their efforts in the teaching field. Now that the Ten
Year Crusade has been so auspiciously launched, the divine confirmations
are descending; and the friends should seize this opportunity to spread
the Faith to all corners of the globe. Especial opportunity devolves on
the Japanese Baha'is and pioneers, as one of the goals of the Crusade is
