The Guardian is also praying for your children, that they may grow up to rejoice your heart and be wonderful Bahá’ís. LETTER OF 6 DECEMBER 1951 6 December 1951 To the Bahá’í Youth Who were gathered at Maulbronn October 28, 1951. Dear Bahá’í Friends: The beloved Guardian appreciated receiving your message, and was happy to see that so many of you had met to consult together about ways and means of spreading the Divine Message in Germany. He assures you he will pray that your efforts will be blessed; and he urges you, as far as possible, to disperse to centers in Germany where there are either no Bahá’ís, or there is a weak group and your presence would strengthen it to establish a new center. LETTER OF 20 JANUARY 1952 20 January 1952 To the Bahá’ís who were present at the Winter Youth Meeting December 28, 1951. He was very happy to see that it was possible for so many to attend this Youth Meeting; and he trusts that the study of the Teachings together, and the spiritual interchange of thought among you on that occasion will cause you to devote your lives even more single-mindedly to the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh and its requirements; and that you will each inspire the friends in your homes to further study, a closer unity and increased activity. LETTER OF 14 MARCH 1952 14 March 1952 ...he urges you to devote as much of your time as possible to the actual teaching work rather than writing on technical or theoretical subjects, especially in relation to the Faith, because the Bahá’í attitude in detail regarding such questions as sociology and economics must be formulated in the course of time and cannot possibly be elaborated on at this point. To do so would be premature. This does not mean that you should not make the best possible use of the manuscript you sent him, but he would not advise you to devote much time to a similar work in the immediate future. LETTER OF 12 APRIL 1952 12 April 1952 To the Bahá’í Youth of Germany Who were present on Annual World Youth Day. He hopes that each one who was present carried away with him a new strength and resolve to do all in his power to teach, and attract new souls to the Cause of God. LETTER OF 7 MAY 1952 7 May 1952 The Bahá’í Community of Heidelberg. Dear Bahá’í Friends: Your letter of April 26th reached the beloved Guardian, and he appreciated very much the kind sentiments you expressed. I also appreciated them very deeply. He will pray in the Holy Shrines that your work in Heidelberg may be blessed, and that you will be able to promulgate the Faith in that area, especially amongst the student body.... [From the Guardian:] Assuring you of my deep appreciation of the sentiments you expressed, and of my loving prayers for your success in the service of our beloved Faith, Your true brother, Shoghi LETTER OF 23 MAY 1952 23 May 1952 To the Bahá’ís gathered in Frankfurt for Ridván, 1952 Dear Bahá’í Friends:
