The Guardian...noted with keen interest the various
suggestions you had offered to the National Spiritual Assembly in its last
meeting. ...
The spirit of frank and constructive criticism behind your
suggestions must have surely impressed them, and awakened them to a fresh and
deeper realization of the unique responsibilities which they have to shoulder
in this day. (From a letter dated August 19, 1938, written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi to an individual believer, compilation on ‘Criticism: Extracts from
letters written on behalf of the Guardian to individual believers’, prepared by
the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice)
