Letter of 1 May 1937
Dear Mr. Hofman,
| |
1 |
I am charged by our beloved Guardian to acknowledge the
receipt of your communications of March 21st, 31st and of
April 22nd with enclosures.

He has received and read with particular interest the latest
issue of the Journal issued by the British N.S.A. and is indeed
happy to realise that the teaching work, now so ably reinforced
by the valuable support extended to it by dear Mrs. Bishop, is
steadily progressing in England. He is most pleased over the
progress of the Devonshire Group, and wishes you to assure its
members, and particularly Mrs. Stevens+, of his deep appreciation
of their efforts for the propagation of the Message in that highly
promising centre from which, he hopes, the light of the Cause
will radiate throughout South Western England which has
heretofore remained closed to the Faith. He would urge your
N.S.A. to continue giving your attention to the problem of
finding ways and means to further widen the interest that has
been aroused, and is fervently praying that your efforts in this
connection may bear the richest and most satisfactory results.

Concerning the N.S.A.'s Publishing Fund; the Guardian has
learned with satisfaction that the friends are gradually awakening
to the realisation that it constitutes an invaluable support to the
extension of the teaching work throughout the British Isles. He
hopes that the flow of contributions will steadily increase, so as
to enable your Assembly to carry out its important project. He
is rejoiced to hear that you have taken the necessary steps to have
the Company legally established--which step, he hopes, will
pave the way for the registration of the N.S.A. as an independent
religious organisation....

[From the Guardian:]
With the assurance of my continued prayers for the realisation of
your highest hopes, and for the uninterrupted progress and consolidation
of your teaching and administrative activities,

Your true brother,
