He is very sorry that such undesirable things are every now
and then cropping up in ... and discouraging you in your work,
keeping you from devoting all your spare time in teaching the
Cause and spreading its principles. He does not wish you,
however, to lose heart from such things. As the Cause grows its
difficulties will increase and its problems will become more
numerous. The friends, especially the older ones, should therefore
try and stand unmoved by them. In fact the more their difficulties
will increase the more they have to take courage and try to solve
them. The Master has often said that sorrows are like furrows,
the deeper they go the more productive the land becomes. If this
problem of ... should be settled other problems will arise. Are
the friends to become discouraged or are they to follow the
footsteps of the Master and consider them more as chances to
show their tenacity of belief and spirit of sacrifice? In short,
Shoghi Effendi wishes you to keep on teaching the principles of
the Cause no matter what problems may arise.

[From the Guardian:]
...Let not anxieties and disappointments overwhelm you or
oppress your generous and sensitive heart. Turn to Him in prayer and
remember that I am joining you in your supplications for guidance
and strength. Be patient in tribulation and never relax in your efforts
to promote the Divine Teachings.
