s. Likewise the establishment of
pioneers in both Eire and Scotland is of historic importance and they
should receive every assistance from the National Teaching Committee and
from your Assembly.

Now that the British believers see tangible results of their labours and
perseverance taking shape, they should feel encouraged to make new
sacrifices; a little effort on our part is so richly blessed by
Baha'u'llah--we can only wonder what the rewards would be for a great,
concerted, truly inspired effort by all members of the community.

He assures you all of his most loving prayers for your guidance and the
success of your historic enterprises....

P.S. Shoghi Effendi would like your Assembly to make every effort to help
Dr. Lotfullah Hakim to come to England from Persia; he wishes to continue
his study of massage etc. and he could be of great help in the teaching
work as he is a devoted and fine Baha'i. Shoghi Effendi suggested he might
investigate the possibility of carrying out his studies in Edinburgh or
some other goal town and thus help with the Six Year Plan at the same
time.

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers,

The present crucial year, now drawing to a close, may well be regarded as
one of the most memorable in the annals of British Baha'i history. The
magnificent, spontaneous and collective response of almost the entire
community of the English believers to the imperative call of teaching; the
support lent by individuals, groups and Assemblies to the Plan set in
motion by its national elected representatives; the success attending the
Teaching Conference; the multiplication of Baha'i centres in England; the
initial steps taken to establish the structure of the Administrative Order
of the Faith, in Ireland, Scotland and Wales--all these have combined to
raise the stature of the community, and to prepare it for the still
greater tasks that must be faced by its members after the successful
prosecution of the present Plan.

The Baha'is of the British Isles are now, slowly, laboriously and in
strict accordance with the principles of a steadily expanding, divinely
appointed Administrative Order, building up the essential and primary
institutions which are destined to act as the chief and most powerful
instruments for the proclamation of the Faith to the masses of their
countrymen, at a subsequent stage in the development of the Faith in their
land. As these institutions expand and are consolidated
