useful means of getting the public
together and bringing the Cause to them.

He sees no reason why Mother Dunn should not have a companion in the
Hazira, and hopes that she will settle down there comfortably and happily.

The sympathy you have expressed on the occasion of the passing of dear Mr.
Maxwell was much appreciated by the Guardian. Although Mr. Maxwell is
naturally missed very much here, the services God in His bounty enabled
him to accomplish for the Faith preclude any feelings of sadness, when we
think of the blessings showered upon him.

He urges your Assembly to constantly stimulate the believers to achieve
their goals. It would be a great pity if, after the success of their First
Plan, their Second historic Plan did not likewise culminate in victory,
more particularly in view of the fact that the New Delhi Conference will
involve the formation of work to be undertaken by eight National Bodies
during a ten year period.

Consequently all Assemblies, not only yours, but all National Assemblies
all over the world, should, so to speak, clear the decks for action, and
wind up their present business, so that they will be free to carry out the
much more important work that lies ahead of them.

The Guardian feels sure that the Australian and New Zealand Baha'is can
make and will make sufficient effort to consummate their Plan with
success. He is certainly sustaining them with his ardent prayers.

He assures you all that your labours are most deeply appreciated.

With warm Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani.

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers:

Though extremely preoccupied, during recent months, with the constantly
expanding activities and manifold problems arising at the World Centre of
the Faith, necessitating, to my extreme regret, a considerable delay in
acknowledging your assembly's communications, I have been watching, with
close interest and ever deepening admiration, the progressive unfoldment
of the task which the community of the believers in Australia, New Zealand
and Tasmania are so valiantly shouldering. I have noted, with particular
gratification, the simultaneous advance made in the extension of the
teaching activities of the steadfast and self-sacrificing members of this
forward-looking highly promising community, as well as in the
consolidation of the institutions which they are laboriously establishing
throughout that far-away continent and its neighbouring islands. I rejoice
at th
