e National Assembly, with the greatest of care, to see that somehow
or other in the foundation of the monument this piece of plaster is
carefully inserted and preserved; if necessary, the head-stone can be
removed, and it can be put under it, and the head-stone rebuilt in such a
way as not to damage the head-stone.
He has decided that, in view of the fact that Anticosti is so extremely
difficult to get into, the Canadian Assembly can choose some other goal as
substitute for Anticosti. In other words, a territory or an island in the
vicinity of Canada, which has never been opened to the Faith, may be
opened in the place of Anticosti, and thus the goals of the Ten Year Plan
will not be decreased. On the other hand, Anticosti should be maintained
as an objective; and every effort be made to get a Baha'i in there.
At present, Mr. Allan Raynor(49) of your Assembly is visiting here, and,
although unfortunately he has been laid up with a cold, it has been a
great pleasure to have a Canadian Assembly member here.
With warmest Baha'i greetings,
R. RABBANI.

The beloved Guardian has been reviewing the progress of the teaching work,
particularly in the goal areas during the Ten Year Crusade.
Tremendous progress has been achieved. If the few remaining virgin goals
of the Ten Year Crusade could be promptly settled, and those which were
settled and again became virgin areas, could again be settled, it would be

The virgin areas coming under the jurisdiction of the Canadian N.S.A. are
Anticosti and Marquesas Islands. Likewise he feels it important that
Greenland, Newfoundland, Mackenzie and the Yukon be reinforced.
It will be appreciated if you will let me know as promptly as possible
what can be done to establish the Faith solidly in these areas.
Faithfully yours,
LEROY IOAS.

Your communications with their enclosures and material sent under separate
cover have all been safely received by the beloved Guardian; and he has
instructed me to answer you on his behalf...
PIONEER REACHES ANTICOSTI
The recent news that Anticosti had at last received a pioneer(50) was
immensely welcome, and enabled the Guardian to take off his list one of
