He urges you to continue your services in the teaching field in New Zealand, and also to write to the friends in Australia who are disturbed about Mr. ..., and strengthen their faith and determination. With warmest greetings, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:] _May the Almighty, Whose Cause you serve with such zeal and devotion, reward you for your labours, and graciously assist you to win great victories for His Faith and its institutions,_ _Your true brother, _ _ Shoghi_ (39) December 18th, 1949 Dear Bahá’í Brother: Your letter of November 1st was received, and, although our beloved Guardian is so busy at present on the Shrine work here that his mail is piling up alarmingly, he does want to send you a word of appreciation for your fine, constructive spirit and the services you are rendering the Faith. Vicious criticism is indeed a calamity. But its root is lack of faith in the system of Bahá’u’lláh (i.e. the administrative order) and lack of obedience to Him--for He has forbidden it. If the Bahá’ís would follow the Bahá’í laws in voting, in electing, in serving, and in abiding by assembly decisions, all this waste of strength thru criticizing others could be diverted into cooperation and achieving the Plan. Keep on trying to point this out to them! With Bahá’í love, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:] _Assuring you of my loving prayers for the success of every effort you exert for the promotion of our beloved Faith, and the realization of every desire you cherish for its progress,_ _Your true and grateful brother, _ _ Shoghi_ (40) June 11th, 1952 Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your two letters of May 25th have been received, and the beloved Guardian thanks you for them, and for the loving sympathy which you express. He hopes that you will make every effort to attend the New Delhi Conference, as it will be a very historic occasion, and the more Bahá’ís from Australia and New Zealand that are present, the better. You should get in touch with the Indian National Spiritual Assembly as regards accommodation etc. This has been a very tiring winter for the beloved Guardian. He has had so many pilgrims, and so many problems locally, and an ever-increasing amount of work, so I will make this letter brief. He assures you your services are deeply appreciated, and that he will remember you in his prayers. With warm Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani [From the Guardian:] _May the Beloved bless, guide and sustain you, and enable you to promote the best interests of His Faith,_ _Your true brother, _ _ Shoghi_ (41) January 6th, 1955 Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your letter of December 21st with enclosure has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He is happy to know that the New Zealand Hazíratu’l-Quds is being made attractive for the many activities that will take place in this Center, and he hopes it will become the means of the greatest unity and loving cooperation among the friends.
