He was particularly glad to learn that some of our Indian friends have
encouraged you to start a fortnightly paper on the Cause. The idea is,
undoubtedly, most genuine and meets with our Guardian's wholehearted
approval. He wishes you, however, not to act hurriedly, to take all the
necessary steps which can insure its safety and development. Such projects
are not so easy to carry out, especially in these days when the economic
crisis is getting so acute. At any rate, if you find that your financial
conditions allow you to undertake such an important work, you should
persevere in your efforts and try to make your paper an indispensable
adjunct to the teaching activities of the friends.
The Guardian hopes that you will be more successful in this, your second
attempt. The unexpected death of the 'Baha'i Weekly', he feels, had badly
affected the prestige of the Cause. It is hoped that your new fortnightly
paper will enable all to appreciate more adequately the divine potency
with which it is endowed.
Mrs. Keith Ransom-Kehler, who has been doing such a fine work in Persia,
is planning to leave for India at the beginning of winter. Her presence
among you will be certainly appreciated. She is such a wonderful soul, so
devoted, so active and so capable. The Guardian hopes that you will make
the utmost use of her stay in India.
[From the Guardian:]
Your unswerving loyalty and inflexible resolve to carry on the work you
have so nobly initiated are indeed worthy of the highest praise. I will
pray for your success and the steady and uninterrupted progress of your
activities whenever I lay my head on the sacred Threshold and will
supplicate for you all the strength and guidance you need for the
prosecution of your task. The friends in India and Burma should bestir
themselves and, under the guidance and by the aid of the National Assembly
prepare the way for the forthcoming visit of our able and brilliant
international teacher Mrs. Kehler. May the Lord sustain and guide them in
their endeavours and reward them for their acts of self-sacrifice in His
Path.
