have so recently and laboriously been rescued. Nay, the highly edifying
evidences proclaiming the expansion and the consolidation of the superb
historic work achieved in so many of these territories must be rapidly
multiplied. The local assemblies that have been so diligently and
patiently established must under no circumstances be allowed to dissolve,
or their foundations be in any way endangered. The mighty and steady
process involving the increase in the number of the avowed supporters of
the Faith, and the multiplication of isolated centers, groups and local
assemblies must, throughout this newly opened phase of the Plan, be
markedly accelerated. The incorporation of local assemblies must proceed
with a rapidity that will throw into shade the progress achieved in this
respect during the first two phases of the Plan. The remaining unopened
territories of the globe outside the Soviet orbit, now confined to no more
than four lonely islands, must with the least possible delay, be won over
to the ever spreading dominion of Baha'u'llah, consummating thereby the
most far-reaching and thrilling of all the enterprises launched through
the concerted efforts of His valiant followers. The one remaining Temple
site destined to be bought in the Swedish capital must be speedily
acquired. The six remaining Haziratu'l-Quds, some in Latin America, others
in the European continent, must likewise be rapidly established. The
Baha'i endowments in the countries still deprived of the benefits of this
divinely appointed institution must be forthwith purchased. The task of
completing the translation of Baha'i literature into the languages listed
in the provisions of the Plan must be carried out with renewed
determination and vigor. The Baha'i Publishing Trusts that are as yet
unestablished must be founded at the earliest possible opportunity. The
sacred obligation of purchasing the remaining chief historic sites in the
birthplace of the Faith, and particularly the scenes of the Bab's
incarceration and martyrdom, must be discharged as expeditiously as
possible. The search now being conducted for the purpose of identifying
the resting-places of the Father of Baha'u'llah, of the Mother and the
Cousin of the Bab must be pursued with the utmost diligence and
circumspection. The construction of the Mother Temple of Europe, so vital
and yet so long overdue, must be speedily commenced, whilst a parallel
effort must be exerted in Africa for the erection
