o even seek a solution. More believers must arise, and, putting their
trust in Baha'u'llah, do their duty to the Faith they believe in and love
so dearly. The youth in particular should be encouraged to enter this
field of service, for the spread of the Cause is their only hope for a
stable world in which to live and establish families of their own.

His loving prayers are with you all in your many services to the Cause of
God, and he is greatly encouraged by the way the work is going forward in
England....(40)

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers,

The evidences of intensified activity and of notable progress on the part
of the English believers in recent months have rejoiced my heart and
deepened my feelings of admiration and gratitude for the manner in which
they are discharging, individually and collectively, their high
responsibilities. I long to hear of the steady progress of their Plan, and
will continue to pray for the removal of every obstacle in their path.
However considerable their recent achievements, they are still in the
initial stage of their great unfolding mission, and are not even capable
as yet of visualising the possibilities or of estimating the consequences
of their present-day labours. The consummation of their present task will
mark the opening of a new era in the development of their community and
will signalise the inauguration of a great epoch in the history of the
Faith in their land--an epoch that must witness the universal recognition
of their Cause and the proclamation of its truths, its claims and tenets,
to the masses of their countrymen throughout the British Isles. The Plan
they are now prosecuting will provide the machinery and establish the
basic structure that will enable them to arouse the people, among all
sections of the population, and aid them, systematically and gradually, to
recognise Baha'u'llah, and support the nascent institutions of this World
Order. Now it is their duty to lay an unassailable foundation for the
great work that is to be undertaken in the future. There is no time to
lose. Theirs is a priceless opportunity and a great privilege. They must
neither vacillate nor falter. They must determinedly persevere until their
immediate and distant goals have been attained.
