Dear Bahá'í Friends,
| |
2 |
Your message of October 20th addressed to the Guardian
is just at hand. He has read it with deep interest, and was
profoundly touched by the expressions of love and devotion
which it contained. He wishes me to thank you for it, and to
reciprocate, fully and to each and every one of you, the
warm greetings and good wishes which you have been
moved to extend to him on the occasion to the celebration
of the birthday of the Báb.

He wishes me also to take this opportunity for conveying
to you all his deepfelt appreciation of your labours for the
study and the spread of the Cause in Esslingen. He hopes
and prays that your community may, in the years to come,
play an increasingly vital rôle in promoting the Message
throughout Germany, and particularly in strengthening the
foundations of the Administration in that land. Your centre
is one of the oldest and best we have in Germany, and has
tremendous possibilities. You should, therefore, feel
confident and to strenuously toil, so that your community
may develop both in number, in strength and in influence.

With the renewed assurance of the Guardian's best wishes
and of his supplications on behalf of you all,...

I am deeply grateful to you for the many and repeated
evidences of your splendid devotion and firm determination
to serve the best interests of our glorious Faith. The work in
which you are engaged is dear and near to my heart. My
prayers are always with you. Persevere in your labours and
never feel discouraged, however great the obstacles that
may stand in your way. The Beloved is surely watching over
you. Be happy and confident.
