advancing and consolidating the Cause. The establishment of a Central
Office in Delhi is a great step forward and I await very eagerly the first
issue of the publication of the National Spiritual Assembly of India &
Burma. The Burmese friends are very satisfied and pleased with the
consideration shown and the activity displayed by your Assembly and my
prayer is that the relations of the National Body with the local
Assemblies will grow firmer everyday. I will specially remember the
friends who are promoting the Cause among the Qadiyani community whenever
I visit the Shrines. I wish them the fullest success.

Bring Together the Hindus and Mohammedans

Shoghi Effendi received your letter dated June 11th and was very glad to
see the result of the election of the National Spiritual Assembly. He
sincerely hopes that this year will witness a great change and progress
for the Cause in India. As the friends are sincere in their love and
devotion, the members of the Assembly strong in their faith and unfailing
in their services, there is full assurance of an ultimate victory and
final settlement of the existing difficulties. Shoghi Effendi has great
hopes in you personally and trusts in your wise judgment, watchful
attentiveness and absolute assurance in the Cause you serve. He wants me
to assure you of his prayers.

He also hopes that the friends in India will do their very best to bring
together the Hindus and Mohammedans. In such cases the friends can show
their good-will, devotion to humanity, and disinterestedness in the
material result obtained. He will pray that ... Prof. Pritam Singh will be
guided in this undertaking and ably represent the spirit of the Cause as
well as its teachings. Being competent themselves and having the necessary
divine blessing and guidance it is sure that they will achieve much. May
be this will be a good chance for attracting the attention of some of the
prominent leaders to the reality of the Cause.

[From the Guardian:]

I have written in person to the Bombay Assembly and urged them most
emphatically to support morally and financially the National Assembly and
the National Fund. ...We have to repeat and repeat over and over again
until the truth, the necessity and the urgency of our Beloved's
instructions sink in the hearts and minds of the believers. I am sure you
will continue to remind the friends of their primary obligations. Assuring
you again of my prayer
