Dear Bahá'í Brothers and Sisters:

The Guardian wishes me to thank you for your kind
words of April 23, 1933, expressing the greetings of the
season.

He is deeply gratified to learn that when the friends
assemble at such gatherings, and remember the occasion
they are celebrating, they renew their determination to serve
and ask God to shower upon them His infinite blessings and
help them in the realization of their noble aim.

The more society is threatened by wars, and the more
humanity is seen desperate before the problems that
confront it, the more should the Bahá'ís take courage and
redouble their energy in diffusing the teachings. For it is
only through such divine precepts that the world can obtain
peace and tranquility, and become an environment within
which man can spiritually progress and attain his noble
destiny.

In his moments of prayer at the Blessed Shrines the
Guardian will think of you all and ask God to guide and aid
you in the service of His Faith. May through the light that
emerges from your gatherings all the people of those regions
receive the light of God and find their way towards eternal
salvation....

May the Beloved guide your steps, cheer your hearts,
enable you to promote far and wide the interests of our
beloved Faith and aid you to consolidate its rising
institutions,

Your true and affectionate brother,
