id growth of the Holy Faith in India. The N.S.A. should do all in its
power to foster unity among the believers, and to educate them in the
administration as this is the channel through which their community life
must flow, and which, when properly understood and practised, will enable
the work of the Cause to go ahead by leaps and bounds.

The excellent news you conveyed of the progress of the Faith in so many
hitherto virgin territories of India greatly rejoiced the Guardian's
heart, and he is proud to witness the manner in which the Indian believers
are arising, teaching, and sacrificing for the Faith of God. The friends
themselves must be astonished at the rapidity with which the devoted
pioneers have succeeded in establishing new spiritual Assemblies; and he
hopes that many more souls will, thrilled by these achievements, follow in
their footsteps, and thus ensure a truly glorious celebration of the
hundredth anniversary of the Cause next May. The eyes of the Baha'i world
are being increasingly attracted by the achievements of the Indian
friends, and they have the opportunity of crowning their Centenary
celebrations with a victory outstanding in the records of the Baha'is of
the East. The Guardian hopes that in this connection many more Baha'i
young people will arise and serve. They have the advantages of health and
freedom from family responsibilities which are not always enjoyed by older
people, and they should cooperate to the full with more experienced
believers in carrying on the pioneer work of the Cause.

He is most anxious that now that the National administrative Headquarters
of the Faith has been successfully established--a tremendous step forward
for the Faith there--you should give special attention to getting out the
Esslemont book in three additional languages as soon as possible.

The Six-Year Plan Has Progressed Magnificently

[From the Guardian:]

The achievements of the Indian believers in recent months have been truly
stupendous. The Six-Year Plan has progressed magnificently; the
dissemination of Baha'i literature has been stimulated, the national
administrative headquarters, to be henceforth designated as the
Haziratu'l-Quds, has been established; a new spirit stirs in the hearts of
the believers, teachers, pioneers as well as administrators; the evidences
of a fast-developing community life are evident everywhere. The impetus
lent to these activities must be continually reinforced i
