or the sum you forwarded.
He was deeply touched by this further evidence of the interest shown by
the believers in Australia and New Zealand in the Holy task now going
ahead at the World Center. Please thank all the contributors on his
behalf.
He sends you and all the members of the N.S.A. his loving greetings,
With Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani.
[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless and reward all those who have so devotedly and
spontaneously contributed for the promotion of so holy an enterprise, and
aid them to win great and memorable victories in the service of His
glorious Faith.
Your true brother,
Shoghi.
LETTER OF NOV. 20, 1951
Dear Baha'i Friends: Nov. 20, 1951
Your letters to the beloved Guardian, dated April 3rd (two) 4th and 26th;
May 4th and 25th; July 13th; and Oct. 16, with various enclosures, have
been received, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
Regarding various matters raised in your letters: The Guardian feels that
as Mr. Audenwood clearly signified his belief in Baha'u'llah before his
passing, his name should by all means be registered in your records as a
believer. Please assure his wife of the Guardian's prayers for the
progress and happiness of his soul, and for her own services to the Faith
to be richly blessed.
Shoghi Effendi feels it is better not to put the Greatest Name on Baha'i
graves. It is not forbidden to do so, but inappropriate.
Regarding Mr. ... and Mr. ... we all regret exceedingly the loss he
afflicted this believer with. Your Assembly, if you have not already done
so, should write both the Persian and Indian Assemblies exposing him, and
asking if there is no way he can be reached and made to pay his debt. The
last news the Guardian had of him he was in Cyprus and planned (?) to go
on to Iran or India. It is most extaordinary to see the way this man, who
breaks all the laws of his Faith and disobeys both the Guardian and the
Assemblies, has been able to plant a firm faith in the hearts of sincere
souls in Fiji, who are now devoted believers! Your Assembly should give
this small community every aid and encouragement you can, for its members
were born with a terrific test, enough to shake the belief of old and
tried Baha'is.
The Guardian was very pleased to see the Racing Conference courteously
changed the name of that horse which had been called Baha'u'llah.
He is also very glad you are in touch with dear, faithful Mr. Aus
