requirements of the Plan to
which they stand committed. The process of extending the range of their
administrative activities through the formation of groups and the
multiplication of assemblies must continue unabated until this particular
objective of the Plan is fully achieved. The proper incorporation of the
national and local assemblies, so vital and urgent at the present stage of
their evolution, must be hastened by every means in their power. The
measures required to ensure the recognition of the Faith, of its laws
regarding matters of personal status, as well as its Holy Days, by the
civil authorities, in both Australia and New Zealand, must be carefully
considered, and promptly adopted. The institutions of summer and winter
schools, so vital and beneficial at the present stage in the development
of the Faith must be continually expanded enriched and consolidated. The
national and local Funds, on which the prosperity and unfoldment of a
rising Administrative System must ultimately depend, should be assured of
an ever-increasing measure of support, whilst the contributions of the
believers for the raising of the superstructure of the Bab's Holy

critical hour, should be constantly borne in mind and steadily maintained.

underlying this Faith, his training in its administrative processes, his
understanding of the fundamentals of the Covenants established by its
Author and the authorised Interpreter of its teachings should be made the
supreme objectives of the national representatives responsible for the
edification, the progress and consolidation of these communities.

This two fold task, both at home and abroad, confronting the members of
these communities, labouring so valiantly, and holding aloft so
courageously the banner of the Most Great Name in the Antipodes, at so
crucial a stage in the evolution of the human race on this planet, can
neither be shirked nor be treated lightly for one moment. The hour is too
critical, time is too short, the requirements of an infant Faith are too
pressing, the resources at the disposal of the few into whose hands its
care has been entrusted are too circumscribed to suffer any time to be
lost in procrastination or through complacency or neglect. The prizes
