[From the Guardian:]

Dearly-beloved co-workers:

I am so glad and grateful for the plans you have conceived for the
reception, and organisation of the work, of Martha during her visit to
your shores. The community of the believers in Australia and New Zealand
is making remarkable progress in every phase of its activities, and
deserves the highest praise in its magnificent and incessant labours. I am
proud of the quality of its faith and the range of its achievements. May
the Beloved infuse into each one of its members a greater measure of His
power and of His spirit that will enable them to seek nobler heights in
their historic service to His Cause!

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi.

greeted her upon her arrival, and the kind solicitude and warm affection
you have displayed towards her by arranging for dear Dr. Bolton to give
her the necessary treatment soon after her landing in Adelaide--such
spontaneous expressions of your deep set admiration and love for this
valiant and indefatigable star-servant of the Cause must have surely
greatly warmed and touched her heart.

Your N.S.A., no less than the local assemblies of Perth and Adelaide, has

press. It is to be hoped that before long the results of this campaign of
publicity will be made apparent, and a good number of sincere and
intelligent inquirers will be led to investigate and seriously study the
Teachings, and enrol later on in the Community.

While the Guardian wishes the
