1 |
To the members of the National Spiritual Assembly.
| |
2 |
My friends and fellow-workers in the Cause of God!
| |
3 |
Your most welcome message, imparting the glad news of a
successful Convention, has rejoiced my heart and fortified my hope
in this year of active service, that has just unfolded itself before
you.
| |
4 |
I am certain that, as the newly elected representatives of the
Bahá'í Community throughout America, you are, one and all, well
aware of your mighty responsibilities, and fully realize the tremendous
need for a full understanding amongst the friends, and their
active and sustained cooperation in spreading far and wide the
Cause of Bahá'u'lláh throughout that vast continent.
| |
5 |
I fervently hope that in collaboration with our wise, able and
devoted brother, Jináb-i-Fádil, you will inaugurate a brilliant and
vigorous campaign of Teaching, that shall by its very splendor
banish the darkness of differences and contention that so impede
the majestic and onward march of the Cause in every land.
| |
6 |
That you may reinforce this Teaching Campaign--so vitally
needed in these days--and conduct, properly and efficiently, the rest
of your manifold activities, spiritual as well as humanitarian, it is
urgently necessary to establish that Central Fund, which if generously
supported and upheld by individual friends and local Assemblies,
will soon enable you to execute your plans with promptness
and vigor.
| |
7 |
It is my earnest prayer, in the day-time and in the night season,
that the ever-guiding Hand of our loved and departed Master may
graciously aid you to surmount every obstacle, and will lead, through
you,--His chosen ones in that land,--the Ark of His Cause, to its
promised haven of glory and triumph.
| |
8 |
With heartfelt congratulations and best wishes,
| |
9 |
I am your brother and fellow-worker,
| |

SHOGHI.

P.S. I enclose a copy of my translation
[1]
of Bahá'u'lláh's Words
of Wisdom, which you will feel at liberty to circulate amongst the
friends.
