Dear Bahá'í Friends:
|
2 |
Your letter to our beloved Guardian, dated Sept. 15th,
was received, and he wishes me to thank you on his behalf
for your loving thought in sending him birthday greetings.

He was very pleased to see the Esslingen School program,
and to note that four sessions were being held in the
summer. This school is a rallying point for the German
believers, and greatly stimulates their unity and their
enthusiasm.

The world outlook is so dark and over-clouded that the
believers must labour day and night to give the people the
message of Bahá'u'lláh, and instill in them some hope for the
future. We can see more and more of the predictions of the
beloved Master being fulfilled, as humanity persists in its
waywardness and spiritual blindness. There is no other
remedy except this Cause.
|

He assures you all of his most loving prayers, and he
deeply appreciates your devoted services....

P.S. I am sending through you the Guardian's answer to
the Esslingen Summer School attendants, as their envelope
had no address on it. Please share it with the friends.

May the Beloved of our hearts guide and sustain you,
reward you abundantly for your valiant deeds, aid you to
extend the range of your beneficent services, and enable you
to contribute, continually and effectively, to the
multiplication and consolidation of the institutions of our
glorious Faith,
|

Your true and grateful brother,
