Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Anchorage
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your letter of Aug. 6th brought great joy to the Guardian’s heart. It has taken it some time to reach him but he has instructed me to answer it at once.
He was particularly pleased to hear of the weekly radio broadcasts you are giving, and feels that this cannot but have a marked effect on the progress of the Cause in Alaska, both visibly and spiritually.
Although there are many souls ripe to receive the message, there are many others who, though they are not able to recognize its import at present, will take the seed into their hearts, and there it will ultimately germinate. Radio reaches so many people and thus is of the utmost importance.
It was very kind of you to think of sending gifts to the Guardian made by Eskimos, and he will value them as tokens of your love and the handiwork of a people whom he is most anxious should receive the Divine Message.
He hopes that your Assembly will endeavour to reach the Eskimos with the Message; he fully realizes how difficult a task this is, but it is also one of great importance. If but one of these souls should become truly enkindled, he or she could then teach others in their own language and a manner suited to their minds.
Assuring you all of the loving appreciation of your devoted services, and his ardent prayers for the success of your labours.
Yours, with warm Bahá’í love,
R. Rabbani
