Haifa, Israel,
June 8, 1952.
National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Canada.
Your letters ... with their various enclosures, have been received, and
the beloved Guardian has requested me to answer you on his behalf.
He was very happy to hear that the Convention had been such a success, and
above all, that the delegates had realized how urgent are the teaching
tasks still facing the Canadian Community. He hopes that they will carry
back to their local communities a sense of this urgency, and stimulate the
friends to make a heroic last effort and succeed. They say success breeds
success; and there can be no doubt that, upon the accomplishment of the
present goals, must depend the work in the immediate future--both the
degree of spiritual help that will be vouchsafed by God, and the number of
tasks that will be entrusted to the Canadian Baha'is. He feels sure that
if the believers become sufficiently aroused to an awareness of the
critical nature of the coming months, they will take the necessary action,
however great the sacrifice involved.
