The Guardian has been greatly pleased with the manner in which the Faith has been spreading in Japan. He sincerely hopes that during the second year of the Crusade it will spread even more rapidly, and to more centers.
The future of the Faith in Japan is very great. It now depends upon the Bahá’ís to teach, to develop the Faith in a city and then move on to a new area. If this is continued diligently, it will bring the light of guidance to all parts of Japan in a very short time.

[Letter of May 5, 1954]
He (the Guardian) was very happy to hear of the progress of the work in Japan; and he greatly appreciates the fact that you have returned once more to that country, so dear to your heart, and where the Master was so eager for you to serve.
He wishes to assure you that he will pray for Mr. Mori[30], and that before he passes from this world, his spirit may be illumined, and he may come to accept Bahá’u’lláh.
The Guardian was also very pleased to hear that the Momtazis have given their home as a Bahá’í hall and Hazira, and hopes that this will open the way for the foundation of a firm Spiritual Assembly in the city.
