[From the Guardian:]
I long to hear of the progress of your teaching work in those areas and
provinces where the light of the Faith has not as yet shone forth.
Teaching is the paramount task that urgently demands the concentrated
attention and the complete consecration of the united and persistent
efforts of the believers of India and Burma at the present stage of the
Six-Year Plan which they of their own accord have so magnificently
initiated. No dissipation of efforts, no delay in the initiation and
execution of the necessary measures for its success should be allowed. All
assemblies, all committees and individuals should regard the teaching work
as the most essential factor in the discharge of their obligations to the
Faith of Baha'u'llah, and as the supreme purpose of the machinery of the
Administrative Order which they have lately so laboriously and faithfully
erected. I will from all my heart pray that the high aim they pursue may
be reached, that their hopes may be fulfilled, and that their individual
and corporate lives may equally reflect the noble principles that animate
their Cause.
