rough His power to achieve great victories for His
Faith.

He urges you, one and all, as one soul in many bodies, to consecrate
yourselves to fulfilling the objectives of the Ten-Year Plan. He feels
sure that when the proper unity and dedication prevail in the National
Body, it will be sensed by the mass of the believers, and react upon their
efforts. As Abdu'l-Baha said, nothing is impossible if we have faith; and
this must always be the standard for all the Baha'is. As we have faith, so
are our powers and our blessings.

[From the Guardian:]

May the Almighty enable you to lend a fresh and unprecedented impetus to
the onward march of the Faith, revive the spirit of its supporters,
enlarge its limits, multiply its local institutions, consolidate its
foundations, safeguard its rights, spread abroad its fame, and aid its
followers to discharge befittingly their responsibilities, and concentrate
on the attainment of the objectives of the Ten-Year Plan, on which the
immediate destiny of the entire community depends.

Youth & the Ten-Year Crusade

The Guardian urges as many of the Baha'i youth of India, Pakistan and
Burma as possible to attend the historic Conference to be held in New
Delhi, in October. At that Conference, plans will be made for the carrying
of the Message of Baha'u'llah, during the coming ten years, far beyond the
borders of their homeland; and it will be the youth who will shoulder a
great part of this and the other tasks that will be given to your
Community. In fact, the settling of these virgin fields both close to your
own lands, and in far-off areas, is the very first responsibility of the
believers, in this Ten-Year World Crusade. Therefore, each one of you
should think now seriously what you are going to do about it, and start
making your plans accordingly. The sooner the virgin fields are settled,
the sooner will be witnessed the tremendous power that is released in this
day; and the bounties that await those who go forth to pioneer in these
lands, are great indeed.

Translation of Literature

Naturally it will be difficult for the Faith to be established in the new
territories or amongst the new tribes if they do not have at least a
pamphlet for distribution to the new contacts.

He therefore feels that along with the sending of pioneers into the virgin
areas, the translation of literature into the languages assigned to the
Indian Natio
