We were sorry to know of the state of tension that exists between India
and Burma. Let us hope that Shoghi Effendi's letter will draw both parties
nearer together and so ease up the matter. It is very sad to see two
sections of such a continent though closely connected together, unable to
work in harmony. Let us pray and also try our best that all petty
misunderstandings should be forgotten and that the work should start on a
new basis firmer than before.
[From the Guardian:]
I do hope and pray that the Indians and Burmese friends will once the new
N.S.A. is elected support their representatives and whole-heartedly unite
in promoting the work of the Cause. An earnest, capable, energetic, loyal
and experienced soul must discharge the responsible and arduous duties of
a National Secretary. So much depends upon him. You will have my fullest
and unqualified support in impressing upon the friends the supreme
necessity of establishing forthwith and maintaining to the best of their
ability the institution of the National Fund. I will pray for you all and
assure you personally of my great affection.
