You should keep up this contact and when you write please assure him of
the Guardian's appreciation of his steadfastness and of his loving
prayers. He advises you to keep for your library the books sent you.

The Guardian has noted a new spirit of love and unity amongst the
Australian and New Zealand Baha'is, which pleases him very much, as the
atmosphere of harmony amongst the friends will attract the Divine
Blessings and enable them to achieve a great deal more for the Faith.

He strongly feels that the time has come for the believers of Australia
and New Zealand to arise as a conquering army and ensure the attainment of
their goals under their Six Year Plan. They now constitute one of the
strongest bodies of believers in the world, ranking with such active and
well established communities as those of Canada, Great Britain and India.
Their period of adolescence in the Faith has passed; they are now adults,
and they must face the problems involved in fulfilling their Plan squarely
and with maturity. The pleasant period of youthful irresponsibility, when
they could look on the work of the American and Persian Communities as the
feats of the strong, which they were not called upon to emulate, being too
young, is now passed forever. They must sacrifice, concentrate on their
tasks, plan their actions and carry on their pioneer work with
determination, realizing they will have no one to blame for any failures,
except themselves! The Guardian feels they are entirely capable of
fulfilling their Plan. He is proud of the progress they have made and
confident they can succeed if they really try.

He assures you all of his loving prayers for your guidance and for the
success of your work, the progress of which he follows with the keenest
interest.

With Baha'i love,
R. Rabbani.

[From the Guardian:]

Dear and valued co-workers:

The Six-Year Plan, formulated by the elected representatives of the
valiant Baha'i communities in Australasia, is now entering its final and
most critical stage. If successfully terminated it will mark the
conclusion of a memorable chapter in the evolution of the Faith of
Baha'u'llah in the Antipodes, and will at the same time herald the opening
of the initial phase in the establishment of the institutions of that
Faith, beyond the borders o
