He is very glad to learn of the good work of Nabilzadeh and Mrs.
Schopflocker and hopes that the friends will follow up their work in order
to obtain some definite and permanent results. For a teacher to fly from
one end of India to another is not sufficient, there must be somebody who
can stay long enough in one place and start regular gatherings.
The latter function naturally falls upon the friends in India and he
earnestly hopes that the new year may bring fresh and lasting
achievements.
Shoghi Effendi awaits eagerly the results of the election of the N.S.A.
and he should like to see that body accomplish something more than routine
work. They should take new steps and carry out a regular campaign in India
and Burma.
[From the Guardian:]
It is my hope and prayer that the newly-elected National and Local
Assemblies may widen the scope of their activities, initiate new and
valuable measures, extend the circle of their correspondence with foreign
Baha'i centres, and promote the independence and distinctiveness of the
Baha'i Faith. I would urge you to inform the Year Book Committee through
Mr. Holley of the results of all elections in India and to send if
possible an annual report to that Committee. Wishing you success and
happiness.
