The Guardian encourages German Baha’is to create a Baha’i Newsletter

I am eagerly anxious to receive a copy of your Bahá’í organ which I trust you will be able to publish both in German and in English and which I hope will truly and fully describe the great effort which is now being made in those regions for the diffusion of the Bahá’í principles and teachings. With the introduction of an English section into your Bahá’í Magazine the number of its subscribers will I am sure greatly increase as the many friends in America, Great Britain, France, India and Egypt would be most pleased and grateful to gather from its columns the full news of the onward march of the Cause throughout Central Europe. (Excerpt from a letter written by Shoghi Effendi to Baha’is of Germany, dated 19 January 1923; The Light of Divine Guidance, vol. 1, pp. 10-11) (To read the entire letter please visit Messages to the Baha’i World)
