The truly remarkable services of Hyde Dunn will never be
forgotten. They have added a golden page to the history of the Formative Period
of our Faith. The whole-hearted response to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s call, raised more
than twenty years ago, which he and Mother Dunn made; their quiet and
unassuming sacrifices for the Cause; the wisdom and permanence with which he
laid the foundations of the work in Australia and New-Zealand; and the faithful
love with which both of these noble souls tended the growing institutions of
the Faith—all constitute a landmark in the victorious progress of the Faith. He
is indeed the spiritual conqueror of that continent!

April 1941, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi; ‘Letters from the Guardian to
Australia and New Zealand’)
