Bahai Faith -- North America; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
introduce him to the body of his fellow-believers, and seek, through
constant fellowship and active participation in the local activities of
his community, to enable him to contribute his share to the enrichment of
its life, the furtherance of its tasks, the consolidations of its
interests, and the coordination of its activities with those of its sister
communities. Let him not be content until he has infused into his
spiritual child so deep a longing as to impel him to arise independently,
in his turn, and devote his energies to the quickening of other souls, and
the upholding of the laws and principles laid down by his newly adopted
Faith.
Let every participator in the continent-wide campaign initiated by the
American believers, and particularly those engaged in pioneer work in
virgin territories, bear in mind the necessity of keeping in close and
constant touch with those responsible agencies designed to direct,
coordinate, and facilitate the teaching activities of the entire
community. Whether it be the body of their elected national
representatives, or its chief auxiliary institution, the National Teaching
Committee, or its subsidiary organs, the regional teaching committees, or
the local Spiritual Assemblies and their respective teaching committees,
they who labor for the spread of the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh should, through
constant interchange of ideas, through letters, circulars, reports,
bulletins and other means of communication with these established
instruments designed for the propagation of the Faith, insure the smooth
and speedy functioning of the teaching machinery of their Administrative
Order. Confusion, delay, duplication of efforts, dissipation of energy
will, thereby, be completely avoided, and the mighty flood of the grace of
Bahá’u’lláh, flowing abundantly and without the least obstruction through
these essential channels will so inundate the hearts and souls of men as
to enable them to bring forth the harvest repeatedly predicted by
‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
