the Administration is built. Everything else must be subordinated to, and be made to serve and advance the best interests of these elected custodians and promoters of the laws of Baha'u'llah." 189: TEACHING "The Cause of God is developing rapidly in the virgin areas of the Crusade; but on the home front we seem to be not so successful.
