Our Guardian hopes
and prays that you will be guided in your endeavour to bring together at the
banquet various prominent citizens of various races and religions with the sole
purpose of winning then ultimately to the recognition of God's sacred Faith.
You must stress the universal aspect of the Cause and show utmost kindness and
love to them all as a preparation to their eventual acceptance of the entire
truth.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 8 October 1927 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi
to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Teaching
Prominent People)
