[From the Guardian:]
The work thus far achieved, in both the teaching and administrative
spheres of Baha'i service, is highly reassuring and truly meritorious in
the sight of God. It is but a beginning however. Much remains to be
achieved. A systematic effort, aiming at the settlement of individual
believers in those states and provinces of India where the banner of the
Faith has not yet been hoisted, must be deliberately exerted and
vigorously sustained. Southern India particularly, the island of Ceylon
and other outlying centres on the fringe of the Indian Empire as well as
within its very heart should be won over, through your strenuous, constant
and devoted labours, to the ever-advancing Cause of Baha'u'llah. To extend
the outposts of our far-flung Faith should be your immediate objective.
