enemy.

Many are the passages in the Writings of Baha'u'llah wherein He
foreshadows the persecutions awaiting His Faith. But side by side with
such emphatic predictions is the assurance that out of these sufferings
and trials His Cause will emerge triumphant and purified. May we not,

with confident and joyous hope arise to fulfil our part in the
establishment of His Cause?

Training of Baha'i Teachers

With regard to the teaching outline you had enclosed, Shoghi Effendi has
read it with interest and appreciation and wishes me to assure you of his

inaugurating a new and effective teaching campaign throughout India and
Burma.

these two countries.

Lahore in the near future. He would urge you, and through you your
fellow-members in the N.S.A., to make a special effort to bring about such
a formation as soon as conditions are found to be favourable. He hopes
that the establishment of a local Assembly in so important and central a
town in India will greatly help the expansion of the Faith, and will
consolidate the foundations of its institutions throughout that country.
