...The extremely good news of the way the Baha'is of India are arising and
serving in new fields in spite of the war conditions prevailing, and the
formation of the new Assemblies of Hyderabad and Kotah, the work in
Kashmir and various other centres, has all greatly cheered his heart, and
impelled him to contribute the sum he forwarded through you to help carry
out the many teaching enterprises now under way. The rate at which the
Indian believers are advancing is increasingly entitling them to a
position in the foremost ranks of the Faith, and will no doubt greatly
inspire and encourage other Baha'is of the East to follow their example.
Such prizes are to be won in these days of universal trial and suffering,
and it makes the Guardian very happy to feel that some of them are
evidently going to be merited by the Indian believers!
It is a great deprivation that the friends should be cut off from their
devoted fellow-Baha'is in Burma. We can only hope and pray that
Baha'u'llah will protect and watch over them until the ordeal of these
times is past, and the faithful believers the world over can again join
hands and work together for the peace and progress of the entire world.
