Committee of the Baha'is of Germany and Austria

Dear Baha'i Friends:

The letter dated August 3, and signed by those attending the Youth
Summer-School, was received by our beloved Guardian, as well as the photo
of Burg Breuberg, and he was delighted to see so many youth had attended
from Germany and different countries.

He urges you all to concentrate on teaching the Faith to the young people,
who must be surely bewildered by the state of the present day world, and
who are so in need of guidance and supranational goal towards which they
can strive with heart and soul.

We know that only the remedy of the "Divine Physician" can solve the
problems facing humanity and we work day and night to give the message of
Baha'u'llah to the masses....

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers:

I was deeply touched by your welcome message, and I wish to express my
deepfelt appreciation of the sentiments you have expressed. I greatly
value your labours, and I feel confident that the Beloved, whose Cause you
serve so devotedly, will guide and sustain you in your high endeavours.
Persevere and rest assured that the work you are achieving will bear rich
fruit in the days to come.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi

He hopes the German believers, led by their N.S.A., are now united and
active, and exerting their utmost to spread the Faith and support its
institutions financially and morally.

Your suggestion regarding a book for the general public is a good one. The
question is not only have we Baha'is competent to present this subject in
a way which would catch the attention of the public, but also even if such
a book existed would it achieve its end? We have, unfortunately, not very
many capable Baha'i writers, and the condition of confusion in the world
is such that it seems doubtful if such a work would arrest the attention
of distracted mankind.

However, we need more
