sh where there is ambiguity or no
specific proof. The New History Society is like a branch that has no
roots, and will soon dry up and wither. It has not caused, nor can it
cause, a breach among the believers.

He was very happy to see you are now establishing Regional Teaching
Com.'s, and hopes you will concentrate all your resources, and the energy
of the friends, on establishing new Assemblies and groups.

He assures you, one and all, that his loving prayers will be offered for
your guidance and for the success of your important work.

With warm Baha'i greetings,
R. Rabbani.

P.S. He was very pleased to see the article on the Faith in "Truth". The
Cause is certainly getting very good publicity out there!

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers:

The activities initiated by the dearly beloved friends in Australia and
New Zealand, and so diligently promoted by them all are highly
meritorious; and will, no doubt, bear abundant fruit in the days to come.
The utmost effort should be exerted by individuals as well as local
assemblies to increase the number of the active supporters of the Faith
and to enable them to disperse as widely as possible, to multiply the
groups that must sooner or later evolve into assemblies, to achieve
greater publicity for the Faith through the radio and the press, to extend
the range of the activities of the Baha'i Faith, to foster the institution
of the summer-school, and to consolidate and enlarge the scope of the
Haziratu'l-Quds. These are the main objectives that demand the
concentrated attention of the Australian and New Zealand believers during
the months that lie immediately ahead. No sacrifice is too great to ensure
the realisation of these noble aims. All must arise and unitedly endeavour
to carry to a successful conclusion these vital tasks, with which the
immediate destinies of the Faith are so closely linked. That the Beloved
may guide and sustain you in all your undertakings, that He may crown your
assiduous labours with magnificent success is my dearest wish and ardent
prayer.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi.
