Part 28 (2/2)

[Letter of July 10, 1954]

To Mr. Noureddin Momtazi

The Guardian is deeply appreciative of your devotion and sacrifices for the Faith. The gift which you have made of $3,000 toward the purchase of the Hazira in Tokyo is a further sign of the dynamic spirit which animates you in all of your services.

The Guardian attaches the utmost importance to the Hazira of Tokyo, as this is to become the Headquarters of the National a.s.sembly when it is elected.

The Guardian feels the time is now ripe for the Faith to spread very rapidly throughout j.a.pan, and he wishes that all of the preliminary steps be taken for the development of the Faith as it goes forward. Thus he is anxious that the Hazira be purchased this year if possible.

[Letter of October 19, 1955]

To Mr. William Maxwell

The Guardian has received very glowing reports of the wonderful accomplishments of the Conference(37) in j.a.pan. He feels that this conference marked a new point of development of the Faith in j.a.pan, as well as the entire general area. The spirit of confirmation is reaching all those who arise to serve the Faith; and he is sure divine blessings will come upon everyone who attended the Conference and took part in its deliberations, and who will now go forth to win new victories.

[Letter of November 23, 1955]

To Mrs. Carolyn Dary

He (the Guardian) urges you to make a special effort to visit the friends in other places where you stop, no matter how short the time, as the news of the progress of the Faith in general will encourage and hearten them.

Especially in places such as j.a.pan, the friends need to be urged to persevere with their teaching efforts, so as to have more Spiritual a.s.semblies in the future to support their National Body, when the time comes for its formation.
