We, wishing to follow the commands left by Bahá’u’lláh, spread and lived
by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, we can take no greater step toward the Heavenly
Kingdom—can give no greater joy to the present beloved Guardian of the
Cause, Shoghi Effendi—than that of loving service to all mankind.

(219) It always cheers my heart to hear from the dear friends whose hearts
are so full of love and devotion, and desire to serve this Blessed Cause
which has been proclaimed by Bahá’u’lláh to all the world, so that all
national, racial, and religious prejudices will be abolished, and the
world of humanity recognized as one home, and all men as brothers.
I certainly shall pray specially for you that you may be richly blessed in
your work and service to the Blessed Cause. One soul who becomes entirely
selfless and devoted and filled to overflowing with the spirit of love and
service will do much for the progress of the Cause in whatever locality he
is. Be assured, if you arise to serve, the Beloved Master says Nothing
shall be impossible to you if you have faith. As ye have faith so shall
your powers and blessings be. I convey to you the warm love and Bahá’í
greetings of Shoghi Effendi, and all the family, and again assure you of
our earnest prayers that you will be enabled to render much service to the
Kingdom.

(220) My heart is always cheered when I meet or hear from the dear friends
in America, for the Beloved Master spoke so much to us about His visit to
your land, and we feel confident that the teachings of the Blessed
Perfection which He heralded forth have not fallen on barren soil and the
day is not far distant when a rich harvest will be garnered therefrom.

(221) At the holy Threshold of the Abhá Beauty we fervently pray at all
times for outstanding success to attend that exalted body.(222) Indeed, by
virtue of the brilliant achievements won and the distinguished services
rendered by those blessed souls, the heart of this lowly one is filled
with utmost joy and assurance, and there is no doubt that through the
loving-kindness of God this measure of joy and happiness will be
multiplied day by day.
You have asked me about my own knowledge and recollections concerning the
holy Houses in Ṭihrán. Unfortunately, due to my tender age at that time,
those blessed places and quarters have faded from my memory.
Upon you be His glory and praise.

(223) O dear sisters, ardent lovers of Bahá’u’lláh, may my soul be offered
up for your devotion, your staunchness, and your steadfastness!
