As regards building the grave of Mr. Maxwell(43), this has already been
taken care of by his family. However, he thanks you for the loving offer.
He approves of your taking steps right away to erect a worthy monument on
the grave of dear and heroic Marion Jack(44).
Dear and Valued Co-workers:
The steady progress of the manifold activities in which the Canadian
Bahá’í Community is now so devotedly and unflaggingly engaged is a source
of great joy and satisfaction to all who have, in recent years, observed
its growth and noted its consolidation throughout that vast and promising
Dominion.
Though some of its most capable and active members have, urged by a
compelling force to forsake their homes and settle in distant fields,
ceased to lend to the members of this brave and greatly consecrated
community their valued support, and though a few others to be reckoned
among its oldest and most distinguished supporters have passed to the Abhá
Kingdom, leaving a gap difficult indeed to fill, yet the body of the
Canadian believers, far from flinching or relaxing in its noble
endeavours, has amply demonstrated its capacity to assume and discharge
its heavy and multiple responsibilities, has steadily enlarged the scope
of its achievements, has preserved its unity, and coherence, and set an
inspiring example to Bahá’í communities, both young and old, throughout
all the continents of the globe.
The superb feats achieved by this community’s indomitable pioneers far
beyond the Arctic circle, in neighbouring islands of both the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, as well as in far off isolated territories; the
incorporation of the elected body of its national representatives; the
notable increase in the number of its members; its response to the urgent
needs of the National Fund, and the rapid enlargement in the scope of its
teaching and administrative activities, are all evidences of the intense
vitality of the faith which animates it, and of the firm attachment of its
members to the Cause which it has espoused.
TASKS STILL UNACCOMPLISHED
Though much has been achieved in various fields, the work that still
remains unaccomplished is so vital and urgent that none of its members can
afford to relax for a moment, or to lose sight of the significance and
sacredness of the immediate tasks now confronting it.
