Guardian

During the 10-Year Crusade, a Knight of Bahá’u’lláh writes the Guardian regarding a question he has about his mission in a foreign land.

The Guardian receives this letter, and decides it is, indeed, a very important question. So he writes a reply to this noble servant, to thoroughly answer his question.

After a month has passed, the Guardian wishes to inquire of this Knight for an update on his progress. He dispatches a telegram to that pioneering post, and patiently waits.

Two days later he receives his answer, "still reading"!

Bahá'ís everywhere...Don't Eat Me...

A Bahá'í pioneer was trespassing through the jungle of some tropical country, when suddenly he found himself surrounded by naked men with bones through their noses, waving spears. They tied him up and threw him in a stew-pot, then started piling firewood underneath. Drums sounded. In desperation, the pioneer began reciting the "remover of difficulties" prayer. Suddenly the drumming stopped. One cannibal looked at another and said "Hey guys! I think we've just found the ninth member of our LSA!"
