	| 1 | To my well-beloved Bahá'í brethren and sisters throughout 
Germany. Care of the German National Spiritual Assembly.
 |  |  
	| 2 | Loyal and capable children of our beloved `Abdu'l-Bahá! |  |  
	| 3 | I have received with the greatest pleasure from the 
National Spiritual Assembly, through our dearly-beloved 
Consul Schwarz, the report of your activities that reflect so 
vividly the unquenchable spirit of love and self-sacrifice 
which animates you in your service for the Beloved's Cause.  
Your unremitting labours are worthy of the highest praise, 
the success you have so far achieved is well deserved.  The 
refreshing vitality of your work, the unity of purpose and 
the concerted action attained recently by your fast-growing 
community are resplendent features of your activity.  They 
 
continually remind us of the Master's intense love for you, 
His high hopes in you, His often expressed admiration for 
the ardent devotion, the unquestioned sincerity, the 
unrivalled capacity of His loved ones in Germany.  By what 
you have already accomplished, and by what you are 
determined to achieve in times to come, you have merited 
His abundant blessings and proved in the highest sense 
worthy of the unsurpassed affection He had for you. |  |  
	| 4 | The signs of the promised revival of your sorely-tried 
Fatherland can now be easily discerned.  In material 
prosperity it is steadily advancing, its power and worldly 
prestige are being fast regained, and above all the dawn of a 
spiritual awakening, unparalleled in your history, seems at 
last to have broken upon it.  His sure and often repeated 
promise will erelong be fulfilled. |  |  
	| 5 | Let your National Assembly, therefore, redouble its 
efforts, inaugurate a fresh campaign of ever-expanding 
activity, and make a solemn determination not to relax till 
their one aim is attained.  Let them, with the full and 
sustained support, moral as well as financial, of the vast 
company of the believers throughout your land, send forth 
their teachers far and wide, that they may scatter to the very 
confines of Germany and endeavour by every intelligent and 
effective method to lend a fresh impetus to the newly-established 
centres, add to their number, satisfy their needs 
and coordinate their efforts. |  |  
	| 6 | Let him who desires to hasten the advent of the day when 
all Germany will waken to the recognition of this one 
Message of Universal Salvation arise to contribute his share 
to the work, so gloriously begun, so effectively pursued.  Let 
him by his written and spoken word, in private as well as in 
public, in the course of his travels and in his association 
with all sorts and conditions of men teach the Cause of God 
 
with purity of heart, with unflinching determination and 
complete understanding. |  |  
	| 7 | I assure you, dear friends, we shall all remember you most 
tenderly, most affectionately, whenever we visit the Three 
Holy Shrines.  We will supplicate for you the aid and 
assistance from on high.  We will implore Him Who loved 
you most dearly to bless you even more richly than before, 
shield you from the malice of the ungodly, bind you closer 
one to the other, deepen your faith, clarify your vision, 
widen the scope of your activities, and reinforce your noble 
endeavours. |  |  
	| 8 | We all love you, we all pray for you, we all await the 
joyful tidings of your land. |  |  
	| 9 | Your true brother |  |  |
