, you will all attract divine assistance more and more day by day
and so this coming year the Cause of God will make unprecedented progress
in that country. He sends you and all the members of the National
Spiritual Assembly his affectionate greeting and expects your good news
regularly.

[From the Guardian:]

I pray that your newly constituted National Spiritual Assembly may grow
from strength to strength, may co-ordinate and consolidate the
ever-expanding activities of the friends in India and Burma and inaugurate
a fresh campaign of Teaching that will redound to the glory and power of
the Most Great Name.

May the projected Congress at Cawnpore attract widespread interest and
stimulate the work undertaken by the friends in that promising country. I
assure you of my best wishes for your success.

Increasing Activities

It is always a source of immeasurable joy and encouragement to our dear
Guardian to learn of your increasing activities in serving our dear Cause
and also of the growing measure of success which you are meeting with in
all your endeavours. The unity of the friends in India and Burma, the
spread of the Cause in that vast country and especially among the real
natives, intelligent connections with the universities and schools and the
direction of the thoughts of the students to a proper understanding of the
Cause and its great mission on earth, will not only be real accomplishment
on the part of our dear fellow-workers but will relieve to a very large
extent our dear Guardian of the stupendous task that he shoulders, and
will give him the deepest joy and confidence. We earnestly trust that
through the help of our dear Master from on high all your efforts will be
crowned with success.

Shoghi Effendi is always interested to hear from you on the work in India
and to help you in every possible way.

You are, I am sure, in touch with Mr. Horace Holley in America and you
would be interested to know that they are publishing soon a Baha'i Year
Book which will be of widespread interest not only to the Baha'is but also
to many interested men and women in our dear Cause.

Mrs. Stannard is very successful in her work in Geneva and she has already
started a fine center there. She is able to make many connections with
influential men and learned people and this is in itself a great work.
