Dear Friends and co-workers,

Dr. Mühlschlegel has kindly transmitted to the Guardian
your very warm message, and he has read it with greatest
pleasure and satisfaction, and felt deeply touched at the
assurances of devotion and loyalty which you have been
moved in conveying to him. He highly appreciates the
sentiments you have expressed, and fully reciprocates your
greetings and good wishes. He has been very much
impressed indeed at the large number of the attendants of
this year's Convention, and hopes that in the years to come
that number will continue increasing.

The Annual Convention is indeed a very important
gathering at which both delegates and visitors should try
their very best to be present. It is a splendid and unique
opportunity for the believers to come together and
deliberate on the vital and pressing issues facing the Cause.
It is for this reason, and also because the Convention is the
sole body entrusted with the election of the N.S.A., that the
friends, and particularly the delegates, should make every
effort to take part in the deliberations and discussions of
that annual gathering.

With most loving greetings, and sincere good wishes from
the Guardian to you all....

Dearly beloved friends:

The Convention of the German believers marks another
milestone in the notable progress achieved in recent years by
the German Bahá'í Community. My heart is filled with
gratitude for the manifold evidences of the tenacity of faith,
the collective efforts, the consolidated unity, the
administrative accomplishments and the spiritual fervour so
strikingly displayed by its members. `Abdu'l-Bahá, whose
special care, love and solicitude for the followers of
Bahá'u'lláh in that promising country, most of you have
recognized and no doubt still remember, is truly proud of
your accomplishments and is well-pleased with the spirit
that so powerfully animates you in His service. His spirit
will continue to overshadow you in your labours and to
sustain and guide you in your exertions. Persevere and be
confident.
