connection with the Plan, but that only reports of progress
should be sent them. Administrative matters, etc., should be handled by
your Assembly directly with the Guardian.

D4. The Guardian feels the following areas should be easily settled, and
he would appreciate your arranging to send pioneers there at the earliest
possible date:

Frisian Islands.
Greece--(this is very important, because it is the last national community
in Europe without Baha'is).
Crete.

After these are settled, others more difficult should be considered.

The beloved Guardian wishes the German Baha'is, likewise to assist more
actively in the spread of the Faith in Austria. There should be additional
Baha'i Centers in Austria, and he hopes the German Baha'is will be most
helpful in accomplishing this.

The Baha'is of Germany and Austria have a very great responsibility in
connection with the development of the Ten Year Crusade. 'Abdu'l-Baha
himself visited your countries. He spoke often and lovingly of the German
Friends. Their countries are the heart of Europe, and the heart must be
strong and vigorous. Now then, is the time for the Believers to achieve
the blessings the Master promised them, by "scattering", and continuously
settling new areas. The Guardian will await with keen anticipation reports
of your activities in the all important teaching field.

As his dramatic cable indicates, the Guardian will have prepared, an
illuminated "Roll of Honor", on which will be inscribed the names of the
"Knights of Baha'u'llah", who first enter these 131 virgin areas. This
"Roll of Honor" will be placed inside the entrance door of the Inner
Sanctuary of the Tomb of Baha'u'llah.

From time to time, the Guardian will announce to the Baha'i World, the
names of those Holy Souls who arise under the conditions outlined in his
message, and settle these areas, and conquer them for the Cause of God.

Now is the time for the Baha'is of the World to demonstrate the spiritual
vitality of the Faith, and to arise as one soul to spread the Glory of the
Lord, over the face of the Earth. The Guardian is sure, that the Baha'is
of Germany and Austria who have served and sacrificed so long for the
Faith, will continue their glorious record by winning many new victories
for the Glory of the Lord.

The Guardian will pray fervently for the Baha'is of Germany and Austria,
and for the success of their efforts.

He will pray for the members of the Assembly, whose sacr
