He was very sad to hear of the passing of our dear and esteemed brother,
Mr. Vakil. His loss will be much felt by the Indian believers, and the
many services he rendered the Cause will never be forgotten. It is too bad
that he was denied the burial he himself longed for, but no doubt his
spirit is now rejoicing in the Abha Kingdom after its long and faithful
labours in this world.
Secretary of the N.S.A.
Regarding your question concerning the Secretary of the N.S.A.: There
cannot be any permanently elected Secretary who would year after year hold
office, as this would be contrary to the principles of the administration;
however, the Guardian feels that the N.S.A. should supply the Secretary
with a paid helper in order to enable him to carry on his duties properly
and at the same time pursue his own profession, if that is necessary for
him. In other words the Secretary of the N.S.A. can have a full-time
secretary under him if the work requires it.
