The news of the progress being made by the j.a.panese Baha'is in teaching and in reaching people of importance, pleased him (the Guardian) greatly; and he urges you all to persevere, and never lose heart. In his visits to the Shrines, he will supplicate that Baha'u'llah may confirm your efforts, and enlarge the scope of your activities.

[Letter of September 21, 1951]
He (the Guardian) feels by all means you should plan to remain in j.a.pan and buy a home, if possible. Your presence there has marked a turning point in the work in that country.
It will interest you to know that there are Baha'is now in Formosa and Indochina, and we hope an English believer will be able to go out to Hong Kong later. Lights are going on in Asia.

[Letter of November 12, 1952]
He (the Guardian) was most happy to hear of the progress being made in j.a.pan, particularly in the new centers being opened to the Faith, such as Yokohama and Kofu. He was also very happy to know that Miss Alexander is now teaching in Kyoto.

[Letter of May 25, 1953]
To Mr. and Mrs. Donald Witzel
He (the Guardian) was deeply touched by the two letters by the two new believers of Korea, and the spirit of loving devotion which they portray.
He wishes you to a.s.sure them of his prayers in their behalf. He hopes they will be inspired to intensify their teaching efforts, so others may be quickened by the spirit of Baha'u'llah, and an a.s.sembly be formed in Korea.
He wishes you and the friends in Tokyo to keep in close touch with the friends in Korea. In fact, he wishes the Tokyo a.s.sembly to undertake, as one of their direct responsibilities, the a.s.sistance of the work in Korea, sending if possible one or two pioneers to Korea. This will keep the Center in Korea, (and even enable it to develop into an a.s.sembly), until such time as more American pioneers are sent to Korea.
The Guardian greatly values the services of the friends in j.a.pan. He hopes they will now treble their efforts in the teaching field. Now that the Ten Year Crusade has been so auspiciously launched, the divine confirmations are descending; and the friends should seize this opportunity to spread the Faith to all corners of the globe. Especial opportunity devolves on the j.a.panese Baha'is and pioneers, as one of the goals of the Crusade is the establishment of a National a.s.sembly for j.a.pan.
The Guardian will pray for the success of the teaching efforts of the friends in j.a.pan; also for the services and development of the Faith in Korea.

[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.
