The Unfolding Destiny of the British Bahá'í Community : the Messages from the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith to the Bahá'ís of the British Isles
Shoghi, Effendi
Bahai Faith -- Great Britain -- History -- Sources; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
Every ounce of energy its members can muster must unhesitatingly be
expended to further the supreme end for which so sacred, so formidable and
so momentous a Plan has been devised. With every sacrifice that is made,
with every forward step that is taken along the toilsome and long road
they are destined to tread, with every victory dearly and laboriously won
by the champions, the representatives, the vanguard, the spokesmen, as
well as the rank and file of this community, a measure of blessing from on
high will undoubtedly be vouchsafed, in order to reinforce the exertions,
cheer the hearts, and stimulate the march of all those enlisted in the
service of so glorious a Cause.
The hour is propitious for a concerted effort which in its scope and
intensity will surpass any united action of which the British followers of
the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh have proved themselves capable in the past.
That they may ascend from height to height, go forward from victory to
victory, is the fervent prayer of one who has invariably followed the
course of their exploits with undiminished confidence and admiration, who
has cherished the brightest hopes for the ultimate attainment of their
Mission, and whose love and esteem for them has correspondingly increased
with every revelation of the capacities and energies with which they have
discharged, and are constantly discharging, their Mission.
Your true brother,
Shoghi

Dear John:
Thank you for your letter of June 15th, with regard to Dar-es-Salaam.
The Guardian attaches very great importance to the “incorporation” and
“exemption” of any Assembly; likewise the acquirement of any endowments.
Therefore, if you have not already sent directly to the Guardian a
photostatic copy of the Exemption granted the Dar-es-Salaam Assembly, I
would like to suggest that one be sent to him through me.
Likewise if anything constructive develops with regard to the burial
ground at Dar-es-Salaam, please let me know as soon as possible....

Dear Bahá’í Friends,
...The Guardian has instructed me to write your Assembly, calling
attention to the manner in which questions of teaching activities in new
areas and consolidation areas assigned to any Assembly, are carried out.
The National Spiritual Assembly is the Body which is charged with the
administrative responsibility of the tasks of the Ten Year Crusade.
Neither the Hands of the Cause nor their Boards have administrative
responsibilities in connection with this work.
The members of the Boards are to report to the Hands of the Cause in the
area regarding all situations, and of course in detail concerning any
problem, so that the National Assembly may take appropriate action.
