SHOGHI Letter of 4 May 1952 4 May 1952 National Bahá’í Youth Committee Dear Bahá’í Friends, Your letter of April 9, 1952, has been received, and the beloved Guardian has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He was most happy to see that so many of the Bahá’í youth and their friends had gathered together for the Youth Conference; and trusts that, from this consultation, a greater activity amongst the Bahá’í youth of the British Isles will result. All over the Bahá’í world, we see that not an inconsiderable proportion of the most active and devoted pioneers are young people. This is only right and proper, because they are freer, usually, to migrate to distant lands, embark on new projects, and withstand the trials and hardships, than older people, who have built up family ties and professional ties. He will pray for all of you, for your success and the deepening of your capacities in the service of Bahá’u’lláh. [From the Guardian:] May the Almighty bless and sustain you in your meritorious activities and aid you to achieve great victories in the service of His Faith, Your true brother, Shoghi Letter of 3 June 1952 3 June 1952 I gratefully acknowledge receipt of the sum of £200 Sterling from my dear Bahá’í co-workers, British Bahá’í community to be expended for the promotion of the international interests of the Bahá’í Faith. Shoghi Letter of 3 June 1952 3 June 1952 I gratefully acknowledge receipt of the sum of £300 Sterling from my dear Bahá’í co-workers, British Bahá’í community to be expended for the construction of the Shrine of the Báb. Shoghi Letter of 4 June 1952 4 June 1952 Africa Committee Dear Bahá’í Sister: Your letter of May 16th has been received, and the beloved Guardian has instructed me to answer you on his behalf. He has read with great interest the reports which your committee sends him regularly, because as you know the work in Africa is to him one of the most important activities going on in the Bahá’í world, and very close to his heart. He was very sorry to hear from the recent cable sent him that there is a question about the Kampala Conference, and whether arrangements can be made for it to be held there. Undoubtedly there is an increasingly negative attitude toward our work growing up amongst the officials, probably due to the lack of racial discrimination they are coming to realise is one of our fundamental teachings, a teaching carried into action, and not merely a pious hope.... He wishes you to keep him informed about this and the progress being made.
