…with regard to your contacting the women’s clubs of Nova
Scotia: there would be certainly no objection to your desire to do so, but it
would be preferable that you concentrate on a selected few individuals who are
sincere and truly receptive and to endeavour confirming them in the Faith.
Personal contacts with limited, but eager and spiritually-minded persons, are
often much more effective and fruitful than addressing large audiences.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a
letter dated 18 July 1939 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual
believer; ‘Messages to Canada’)
