eroic warriors, battling for the Cause of Baha'u'llah
throughout the Southern Hemisphere, and particularly Australasia, are
glorious beyond compare. The assistance to be vouchsafed to them from on
high in their struggle for its establishment to recognition and triumph is
ready to be poured forth in astonishing abundance. Action immediate and
whole-hearted, coupled with unswerving fidelity and dogged perseverance,
will no doubt enable those who participate in this double crusade, to
attract the full measure of these blessings and to attain these glorious
goals.

Your true brother,
Shoghi.

LETTER OF MARCH 8TH, 1951

Haifa, Israel,
March 8th, 1951

Beloved Friends:

In answer to your letter of Feb. 22nd, the beloved Guardian has instructed
me to assure you that the statement made in my letter to you Jan. 21st was
quite correct.

You quote from page 537 "Baha'i World" words written by
'Abdu'l-Baha,--further down on the same page you will find the following
"As a corollary of this Tablet (above) it follows the anniversaries of the
birth and the ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha are not to be regarded as days on
which work is prohibited. The celebration of these two days is however
obligatory".--These are the words of the Guardian. We really have eleven
Holy Days but as stated, work is only prohibited on the first nine
mentioned in the Tablet.

He follows your work with deep interest and assures you of his loving
prayers.

With warmest love,

Faithfully Yours,
Amelia Collins.

Dear Baha'i Sister:

Your letter of July 19 has been received, as well as the contribution of
the believers to the Shrine, and the beloved Guardian sends you herewith
his receipt.

He wishes to thank all the friends, communities, and assemblies who have
contributed so lovingly to this Holy undertaking. Surely such gifts,
representing both sincere love and often real sacrifice, will add to the
preciousness of a Shrine already so dear to all Baha'i hearts.

He wishes you every success in your own devoted services to the Cause.

With Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani.

Assuring you of my loving prayers for your success in the service of our
