As regards your daughter ...: the Guardian will pray for her
that her devotion to the Cause, and her zeal to promote its knowledge may be
deepened, and that she may gradually be inspired to take an active part in
teaching the Faith. He would advise you not to press her unduly, but to
carefully watch over her, so that she may gradually, of her own accord, arise
and lend you full support in your teaching work.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 18 July
1939 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; ‘Messages
to Canada’)
