The friends should be helped to overcome their problems,
deepen in the Faith, and increase their unity and their love for each other. In
this way you will find that your work goes ahead speedily, and that the
National Body is like the beating of a healthy heart in the midst of the
Community, pumping spiritual love, energy and encouragement out to all the
members.

Messages to Alaska)
