and your reports will enable them to do this.

d. The Guardian feels the following areas should be easily settled, and he
would appreciate your early cable advice of such new victories:

Bhutan, Daman, Diu, Goa, Karikal, Mahe, Pondicherry, Sikkim, as pointed
out in his cable to your Assembly of May 30th, 1953. These have first
precedence.

The beloved Guardian feels the friends living in large Baha'i Centres,
could easily move into these territories, which are a part of India
itself.

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 Baha'u'llah.

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 India, Pakistan and Burma who have served and sacrificed so long for
the Faith, will continue their glorious record by winning many new
victories for the Faith.
