se communities conduct their meritorious,
strenuous and highly promising activities with such diligence, resolution,
fidelity and devotion, are admittedly vast and constitute a direct
challenge to those who are called upon to diffuse the light of the Faith,
and lay an unassailable foundation for its rising administrative Order,
throughout the length and breadth of these territories.

The Plan, now operating with increasing momentum in that far-off
continent, is designed to enable its prosecutors to lay the first
foundations of the structure which the members of these communities must
rear in the years to come. As these primary pillars of a divinely ordained
steadily evolving, spiritually propelled order are successively erected
and sufficiently consolidated, and the agencies designed for the launching
of a systematic campaign aiming at the future proclamation of the Faith to
the masses inhabiting these far-flung territories multiply, a simultaneous

Baha'i century, and however extensive the range of their operations, and
no matter how far-reaching the future campaigns which the Baha'i
community, centered in the heart of the British Isles, may undertake
throughout the widely-scattered dependencies of the British Crown, the
responsibility devolving upon the National elected representatives of the
Baha'is of the Australasian continent for the introduction of the Faith
and its initial establishment in the Islands of the Pacific, linking them,
on the one hand, with their sister communities in the American continents
and on the other hand, with the communities in South-Eastern Asia, remains
clear and inescapable.

As the various Baha'i national communities, labouring directly as well as
indirectly, under the impulse of a Divine Plan, broaden and consolidate
the base of their operations in their respective homelands, and acquire
the potentialities that will empower them to lend, i
