He is urging the Baha'is everywhere to try and have the
Baha’i Community representative of the population of the country insofar as

and have a majority of Hindu Baha'is; where the majority are Christian,
Christian; where the majority are Negroes, etc. In this way the Cause is more
deeply identified with the life of the people of the country.

dated 12 February 1956 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to Spiritual
