May the coming year witness a notable advance in the organized activities of the community for the furtherance of so glorious and meritorious a purpose. Your true brother, Shoghi. LETTER OF JULY 16TH, 1946 Haifa, July 16th, 1946. Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your letter of June 20th has been received, and our beloved Guardian has instructed me to answer it on his behalf, also to acknowledge receipt of its enclosures. He was very glad to see that amongst the actions taken by the N.S.A. at its recent meeting was to allot sums to the Regional Teaching Committees for them to carry on active teaching campaigns and finance travelling teachers and settlers—if possible. He considers this all very important, and he urges you to appeal to the Bahá’ís to arise and do pioneer work as their fellow-believers are doing in England, India, Egypt and America. He also feels that, if the N.S.A. considers such a course of action feasible, definite plans should be made for carrying the Cause to certain goal towns; in other words, a real plan with fixed objectives and a time limit is now possible for Australia, and should be speedily set in motion. Likewise, he feels that the N.S.A. should meet more often, even if all members cannot always be present. Decisions by correspondence lack the vitality of those that arise out of active consultation, and now the Faith is progressing so well there, and has a sound administrative foundation, more vigorous and systematic action is required. You may be sure all the members of the assembly are remembered in his prayers, and he is supplicating for their guidance and success in the discharge of their sacred duties. With loving greetings, R. Rabbani. [From the Guardian:] Dear and valued co-workers:
