He is pleased to hear that the friends are intensively
studying 'God Passes By', as it is most essential for them to gain not only a
fuller knowledge of their Faith's history but also to see how persistently it
has been attacked by enemies who once held high positions in its ranks. Indeed he
hopes a perusal of this book will help not only friends and observers of the
Cause to see Ahmad Sohrab in his proper colours, but also believers who are not
familiar with the defections of those who were far more highly placed and who
turned against the Faith in the days of Bahá'u'lláh and the Master.
