Dear Co-worker: Messages from Shoghi Effendi to the Benelux countries , pp98-9
Jeanne Kranen, 2 November 1950
Dear Bahà’i Sister:90 Your letter of October 6 has been received, and our beloved Guardian has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.
He is very happy to see you are working to spread the Faith in the Hague, and are so active and devoted in serving it.
Regarding the Clarks leaving Holland: he feels this is a matter which must be decided by the European Teaching Committee as they have all the goal countries to consider, and know where the need is greatest, which, of course, is more than the individual Bahà’is in different countries do. Often they are forced to transfer capable pioneers from a relatively strong community to a weaker one in danger.
He feels you should have confidence in the E.T.C. and while appreciating the fact that the Bahà’is are all just human and like other people, realize that this Committee has acted with great wisdom, courage and integrity, otherwise it never could have accomplished what it has.
He urges you to follow the example of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, whose spirit so strongly influenced you, and if they are transferred, do all you can to accomplish their work and assist any future pioneers who may take their place.
With Bahà’i love, R. Rabbání
May the Beloved guide and sustain you, cheer your heart, remove all obstacles from your path, and enable you to win great victories in the service of His Faith and its infant institutions. Your true brother; Shoghi
