as set up a new map, showing the supplementary
goals won, so far,--outside the Crusade goals. It would be wonderful if
India could add some objectives to this supplementary map.

Pioneering to Ceram

The Guardian feels it is most important the teaching work in the areas
mentioned by Abdu'l-Baha in the Tablets of the Divine Plan, be carried
forward with intensive activity....

It has been over 40 years since the Master wrote the Tablets of the Divine
Plan, and only now has this center mentioned by him, been settled. Surely
the Master will watch over his devoted servant who is labouring so
diligently in this center, and guide and protect him; as well as to
confirm his work.

Baha'i Literature in Native Tongues

He was very happy to receive these reports, which indicate that the work
of translating is actively in hand. He feels this is a very important
aspect of our teaching work, as it is impossible, or at least, most
difficult to teach natives, without some of the literature being
translated into their languages. Thus he hopes you will follow up the
matter quite actively.

Pioneers in Sikkim

The beloved Guardian has directed me to write you concerning the wonderful
news that he has received of the fact that there are now ten Baha'is in
Sikkim.

The pioneers there have been very successful and have been able to win
souls to the Cause of God. This is a distinct victory for the Faith, and
all are to be congratulated. The Guardian wishes them to know how much he
values their services.

The most difficult goals, and the most arduous duties win the greatest
spiritual rewards. Thus, he hopes that the friends in Sikkim, who
naturally are looking forward to their Spiritual Assembly this coming
Ridvan, will realise how great would be their reward, if they were able
now to reinforce the work in Tibet. There is only one pioneer there, and
perhaps some of the new Baha'is could enter Tibet to assist in the work
there. Great would be their reward if they could do so.

Should others be able to go to Nepal and Bhutan, that would be most
helpful. In other words, the Guardian feels that more important than an
Assembly in Sikkim, would be the reinforcing of the pioneers and teaching
work, first in Tibet, and then in Bhutan and Nepal.
