May I also express my heartfelt desire that the friends of God in every
land regard me in no other light but that of a true brother, united with
them in our common servitude to the Master's Sacred Threshold, and refer
to me in their letters and verbal addresses always as Shoghi Effendi, for
I desire to be known by no other name save the one our Beloved Master was
wont to utter, a name which of all other designations is the most
conducive to my spiritual growth and advancement.
Haifa, Palestine.
