demonstrated in the course of the
prolonged ordeal it subsequently experienced, its tenacity, fidelity and
exemplary devotion, and which is now preparing itself for the gigantic
tasks that await to be accomplished by its valiant members in so large a
section of the European and Asiatic continents.

The record of service stretching behind them is indeed highly inspiring.
The vision of future victories at home and in distant fields now unfolding
before them is even more glorious and highly challenging. The more they
consecrate themselves to their present tasks, the more faithfully and
promptly they fulfil the requirements of the Plan to which they stand
committed, the sooner will they acquire the spiritual potentialities that
will empower them to qualify for the successful conduct and the ultimate
consummation of so colossal an enterprise destined to shed so great and
imperishable a lustre on both their community and nation.

That they may be vouchsafed by Providence all the strength and guidance
they require for the attainment of their immediate goal, that they may
prove themselves worthy of receiving a still greater measure of celestial
strength and Divine sustenance for the achievement of their ultimate
objective is the dearest wish of my heart and constant prayer.

Dear Baha'i Friends:

Our Guardian was very pleased to see the Post card of the new German
National Baha'i Headquarters, and also to note the official cancellation
mentioning the Baha'i annual Convention.

He feels sure the Faith in Germany, through means such as these, will
attract an ever wider interest in the public at large.

He wishes all of you every success in your devoted services to the Cause
of God....

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty abundantly reward you for your labours, guide every step
you take in the path of service, and aid you
