1934-09-30 international expenses of the Faith
USBN #88 - November 1934 - page 2
(In the Guardian's hand.) "The international expenses of the Faith are
continually increasing, and the emphasis that has been placed of late on the
necessity of intensifying and extending the national institutions of the Cause in
Persia, America and elsewhere together with the severe restrictions that are being
increasingly imposed by the authorities in Tihran have depleted the resources
required for the promotion of the vital interests of the community at its world
center. For this reason I have felt impelled to suspend temporarily the
contributions which I have been making for the Temple. I will pray that the
efforts of the friends the world over and particularly the mighty exertions of the
American Baha'i community for the prosecution of the Temple work may soon be
abundantly rewarded." (Signed) Shoghi. (September 30, 1934, to Roy C. Wilhelm,
Treasurer, National Spiritual Assembly.)
