ears, the Guardian
would advise that in the next Annual Convention meeting in Calcutta a
special session be devoted to the findings and consideration by all the
delegates and friends present of such policies and means as, in their
considered opinion, can best insure the speedy and timely completion of
this glorious undertaking.

The Guardian would particularly suggest that special stress be laid on the
necessity for pioneer teaching in those states and provinces in India and
Burma, where the Cause has not yet been introduced. Those believers who
have the means, and also the capacity to teach, should be encouraged, no
matter how great the sacrifice involved, to settle in these virgin
territories, until such time as a local assembly has been constituted, or
at least a group of firm believers formed that can safely and gradually
evolve into a firmly-organized and properly-functioning local assembly.
This policy of teaching by settlement which the Guardian has also advised
and indeed urged the American believers to adopt has been proved by
experience to be the most effective way of establishing the Faith in new
territories, and he therefore confidently recommends it for adoption by
your Assembly.

Summer School

As regards the Indian Summer School; its importance, the Guardian feels,
cannot be overstressed, specially in view of its recognized teaching
value, both as a centre for the training of Baha'i teachers, and also for
the attraction of outsiders to the Cause. The wide popularity which this
newly-established yet highly-promising institution is already enjoying,
truly attests its high value as one of those vital institutions of the
Faith in this formative age of its development.

David

...The David referred to by the Bab, and stated by Him to have preceded
Moses, is not the same one as King David, the father of King Solomon, who
lived in the tenth century B.C. and who obviously lived many years, and
indeed many centuries after Moses. Abdu'l-Baha has explained this in a
Tablet.

Inheritance

...Although in the "Questions & Answers" Baha'u'llah has specifically
stated that non-Baha'is have no right to inherit from their Baha'i parents
or relatives, yet this restriction applies only to such cases when a
Baha'i dies without leaving a will and when, therefore, his property will
have to be divided in accordance with the rules set forth in the Aqdas.
Otherwise, a Baha'i is free to bequeath his
