Letter of 3 July 1949 (First Pioneer School)

Dear Bahá'í Friends:
| |
2 |
Your message, sent from your school session to our
beloved Guardian, reached him, and he has instructed me to
answer it on his behalf, and to assure you he was delighted
to see that such a school for pioneering had been held.

He was also very glad to see that the believers are
studying the Covenant of the Master. For in the Master's
Will and Testament are enshrined the principles underlying
the World Order, and unless the believers fully grasp the
greatness, functions, and purpose of the institutions
outlined in that Testament (and elaborated by the Guardian
in his book "The Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh") they will not
be able to properly function as Bahá'ís individually or
collectively. The German friends need to acquire a profound
understanding of the Bahá'í Administrative Order to enable
them to function as a Community, according to Bahá'í laws,
and to protect them from tests and the attacks of the
enemies of the Faith....

Dear co-workers:

I was so pleased and encouraged to receive your message
and to learn of the activity you have initiated. I will pray for
its success and extension from the depths of my heart.
Persevere in your labours, and rest assured that you will be
guided, sustained and fully rewarded for your meritorious
and timely accomplishments,

Your true brother,
