The activities initiated and diligently pursued by the members of your
committee deserve the highest praise. The devotion, the perseverance, the
loyalty, the assiduous care with which you are striving to promote the
interests of the Bahá’í Youth throughout the British Isles rejoice my
heart, and will no doubt act as a magnet that will attract the blessings
of the Almighty. Persevere in your historic labours, and rest assured that
the Beloved is well pleased with your splendid accomplishments. I will
continue to pray from the depths of my heart for the extension of your
valued activities.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi

Assembly Development Committee Dear Bahá’í Friends,
Your letter to our beloved Guardian dated Aug. 4th, has been received and
he has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.
He is very pleased to see the work your Committee is undertaking and feel
that it is of the greatest importance. The unity, love, harmony and proper
understanding of the administration of the Cause which exists in a
community are the measure of its progress, and on them depend directly the
expansion of the Faith.
He wishes you every success, and assures you of his prayers in support of
your labours....
P.S. He has received your bi-monthly news letter and thinks it is very
well written and excellent in every way.
[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless continually your valued activities, aid you to
overcome all obstacles in your path, promote effectively the vital
interests of our beloved Faith, and contribute, in a notable manner, to
the multiplication of its nascent institutions.

Child Education Committee
Dear Bahá’í Friends,
Your letter to our beloved Guardian, dated Sept. 1st, has been received by
him, and he has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.
He was very pleased to see the enthusiasm and devotion with which you have
entered into this important branch of Bahá’í activity, and he hopes your
labours will be richly rewarded with success.
He would suggest that wherever classes for Bahá’í children are held,
liberal minded parents be invited to send their children too, so that
their minds may receive the broad, basic and tolerant doctrines of our
glorious Faith.
He assures you of his loving prayers for the success of your activities.
With warmest greetings,
[From the Guardian:]
May the Spirit of Bahá’u’lláh guide and sustain you in your highly
important and vital undertaking, enable you to extend continually the
range of your meritorious activities, and lend a great impetus to the
consolidation of the institutions of our glorious Faith.
Your true brother,
Shoghi
