The Guardian has received your letter ... and has learned
with deep concern of your family difficulties and troubles. He wishes me to
assure you of his fervent prayers on your behalf and on behalf of your dear
ones at home, that you may be guided and assisted from on High to compose your
differences and to restore complete harmony and fellowship in your midst. While
he would urge you to make any sacrifice in order to bring about unity in your
family, he wishes you not to feel discouraged if your endeavours do not yield
any immediate fruit. You should do your part with absolute faith that in doing
so you are fulfilling your duty as a Bahá'í. The rest is assuredly in God's
hand. - Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual
believer, dated 23 July 1937; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I,
