st efficient way.

Shoghi Effendi was particularly rejoiced at the perseverance with which
our talented Baha'i brother, Dr. Pritam Singh, is carrying on his work in
connection with the publication of the "Baha'i Weekly", copies of which he
has received and read with deepest interest.

You may have heard of the projected publication by the Baha'i Publishing
Committee of the book entitled "The Dawn-Breakers" being Nabil's narrative
of the early days of the Baha'i revelation, recently translated by the
Guardian. It is hoped that the Indian friends will order a few copies of
this highly valuable book and that they will send a few others to some of
the leading libraries in India and Burma.

[From the Guardian:]

My prayers will continue to be offered on behalf of the loyal and
self-sacrificing friends in India and Burma. Prof. Pritam Singh's notable
and ever-increasing share in the administrative, literary and financial
activities of the Faith in that land is a source of genuine and constant
satisfaction. I would specially request your Assembly to prepare a
comprehensive and detailed report on the activities and progress of the
Faith in India and Burma during the last two years, 1930-32, for inclusion
in the forthcoming issue of the Baha'i World. Will you kindly forward the
report to Mr. Horace Holley as soon as possible, as he has been charged to
draw up a survey similar to the one published in the last volume. I would
also urge the friends in India and Burma to order as many copies of the
"Dawn-Breakers" as they possibly can as I regard its circulation of vital
importance to the Cause.

Advertisements in Baha'i Periodicals

Shoghi Effendi wishes me to drop you these few lines to draw your
attention to a general principle he has laid down for all the Baha'i
periodicals, namely that they should be very careful in selecting the
advertisements they accept to publish. It should be highly dignified, such
as books for example, otherwise it would detract from the dignity of the
periodical itself. This may cause certain difficulty in financially
establishing the paper, but we should face the sacrifice and not endanger
the prestige of our publications. He wishes you to take note of this
general recommendation in accepting advertisements for the Baha'i Weekly.
