May the followers of the Faith in that far-off continent, who can already boast of such a proud record of stewardship to the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh, illuminate its annals, in the course of the coming decades by deeds of still greater renown, by acts of still more glorious sacrifice, and prepare themselves to worthily contribute, at the appointed time, to the world-wide celebrations which will commemorate the Centenary of His Declaration. Shoghi. LETTER OF JANUARY 24, 1954 Haifa, Israel, January 24, 1954 Mrs. Greta Lake, Secretary, Yerrinbool Bahá’í School. Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your letter of January 3rd has been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He was very happy that the honored Hand of the Cause, Mr. Furutan, and Mr. Faizi, could be with you at this session of your Summer School, and he is sure they were the cause of great happiness and deep enkindlement to the friends present. The Guardian has high hopes for the dear Australian and New Zealand believers, and he urges you, one and all, to persist in your labours, no matter at what cost, until all the goals set before you for the Ten Year Crusade, have been attained. With warm Bahá’í greetings, R. Rabbani. [From the Guardian:] May the Almighty bless you and your dear co-workers in your highly meritorious endeavours, and enable you to win great victories in the service of His glorious Faith. Your true brother, Shoghi. LETTER OF JUNE 16, 1954 Haifa, Israel, June 16, 1954 Mr. James Heggie, Secretary, National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Australia and New Zealand. Dear Bahá’í Brother: The letters from your Assembly dated July 6, September 14, November 9 and December 18, 1953, and January 7 (2), February 28, and March 22 and 31, 1954, with enclosures, also the material sent separately, have all been received by the beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. Regarding the various matters you have raised, he does not know how the galleys of the Tahitian pamphlet and letters of Louise Bosch happened to be sent to you. He had nothing to do with it, and is perfectly satisfied that they should remain in the hands of your Assembly.
