USBN #83 - May 1934 - page 2
Letters from the Guardian to the National Spiritual Assembly
Concerning the list of Baha'i teachers sent to America by the Master, I wish
to make it clear that the statement I made on that point on behalf of the Guardian
in my communication (see article entitled "Explanation of Passages in 'America and
the Most Great Peace'", published in BAHA'I NEWS February, 1934.- Editor) is, due
to a misunderstanding on my part, incorrect. Khayru'llah could not have been one
of these teachers, since these were sent to the United States in order to remedy
the situation which Khayru'llah himself had created through his treacherous
actions against the Master and the Cause. A careful perusal of the paragraph on
page 14 in "America and the Most Great Peace" makes that point indubitably clear.
As to the five teachers referred to in that epistle of the Guardian, there must have been a typographical error, and instead of five we should, therefore, read only four. (signed) H. Rabbani.
(Postscript to the foregoing letter.)
I wish to add a few words in person to assure you and your dear and
distinguished fellow-workers in the National Assembly of my fervent prayers for
the success of your strenuous endeavors in connection with the ornamentation of
the clerestory section of the Temple. May Baha'u'llah bless your efforts and crown
your magnificent labors with signal success. (signed) SHOGHI. - Haifa, March 24,
1934.
