s historic enterprise. The third objective is the
formation of three national Assemblies, pillars of the Universal House of
Justice, in the Dominion of Canada, Central and South America. The fourth
objective is the initiation of systematic teaching activity in war-torn,
spiritually famished European continent, cradle of world-famed
civilizations, twice-blest by 'Abdu'l-Baha's visits, whose rulers
Baha'u'llah specifically and collectively addressed, aiming at
establishment of Assemblies in the Iberian Peninsula, the Low Countries,
the Scandinavian states, and Italy. No effort is too great for community
belonging to the continent whose rulers Baha'u'llah addressed in the Most
Holy Book, whose members were invested with spiritual primacy by
'Abdu'l-Baha and named by Him apostles of His Father, whose country was
the first western nation to respond to the Divine Message and deemed
worthy to be first to build the Tabernacle of the Most Great Peace, whose
administrators evolved the pattern of the embryonic world order,
consummated the first stage of the Divine Plan, and whose elevation to the
throne of everlasting dominion the Center of the Covenant confidently
anticipated. As the resistless impulse propelling the Plan accelerates,
the American Community must rise to new levels of potency in response to
the divine mandate, scale loftier heights of heroism, insure fuller
participation of the rank and file of members, and closer collaboration
with the agencies designed to insure attainment of the fourfold
objectives, and evince greater audacity in tearing down the barriers in
its path.

Upon the success of the second Seven Year Plan depends the launching,
after a brief respite of three brief years, of a yet more momentous third
Seven Year Plan which, when consummated through the establishment of the
structure of the administrative order in the remaining sovereign states
and chief dependencies of the entire globe, must culminate in and be
befittingly commemorated through world-wide celebrations marking the
Centennial of the formal assumption by Baha'u'llah of the Prophetic Office
associated with Daniel's prophecy and the world triumph of the Baha'i
revelation and signalizing the termination of the initial epoch in the
evolution of the Plan whose mysterious, resistless processes must continue
to shed ever-increasing lustre on successive generations of both the
Formative and Golden Ages of the Faith of Baha'u'llah.
