s, already included within the pale of the Faith; the
champion-builders of a world administrative system which posterity will
regard as the harbinger of the World Order of Baha'u'llah, must, if they
wish to retain their primacy and enrich their heritage, insure that, ere
the opening of the second phase of this World Crusade, the names of the
first American Baha'i conquerors to settle in virgin territories and
islands will, as befits their primacy, be inscribed on the Scroll of
Honor, now in process of preparation, and designed to be permanently
deposited at the entrance door of the Inner Sanctuary of Baha'u'llah's
Most Holy Tomb, that the limited area of land required for the erection of
four future Baha'i Temples, in Rome, Stockholm, Panama City and

equally weighty and requiring in a still greater measure the expenditure
of effort and substance, lie ahead, which will brook no delay, which will
carry the Faith to still higher levels of achievement and renown, which
will enlarge, through the forging of fresh instruments, the framework of a
steadily rising world Administrative Order, and which will eventually, if
worthily discharged, seal the triumph of the most prodigious, the most
sublime, the most sacred collective enterprise launched by the adherents
of the Cause of God in both hemispheres since the early days of the Heroic
Age of the Faith--an enterprise which in its vastness, organization and
unifying power, has no parallel in the world's spiritual history.

AN APPEAL TO ALL ENGAGED IN THE CRUSADE

To them, and indeed to the entire body of the followers of Baha'u'llah,
engaged in this global Crusade, I direct my appeal to arise and, in the
course of these fast-fleeting years, in every phase of the campaigns that
are to be fought in all the continents of the globe, prove their worth as
gallant warriors battling for the Cause of Baha'u'llah. Indeed, from this
very hour until the eve of the Most Great Jubilee, each and every one of
those enrolled in the Army of Light must seek no rest, must take no
thought of self, must sacrifice t
