The slow yet steady extension of the teaching campaign throughout India is
a matter which greatly rejoices his heart, and for which he feels moved to
convey his warmest congratulations to the N.S.A. Considering the well-nigh
insufferable obstacles in your way, and the difficult conditions created
by the war, the progress so far achieved, though small, has been
remarkable in many ways, and augurs well for the future of the Six-Year
Plan which your Assembly is so energetically carrying out.
The signal success which the able and untiring efforts of Mr. & Mrs.
Bakhtiari, Mr. M. H. Ilmi ... have won for the Cause in Kashmir deserves
particular mention; and it is to be hoped that the group already
established in that center will steadily develop and soon attain the
status of a Spiritual Assembly. To these dear teachers who have so
successfully accomplished such high teaching mission, as well as to our
new Baha'i brother Moulvi Abdullah of Kashmir who, notwithstanding the
violent opposition and criticisms of the Qadianis has firmly stood by the
Cause, the Guardian wishes you to convey his warmest appreciation and
gratitude.
