Critical Stage of Task on Home Front
| |
1 |
I am deeply concerned at critical stage of task confronting North
American Teaching Committee, constituting at this juncture the
paramount objective of present Plan. Owing to urgent, overriding
importance of Committee's responsibility and to swiftly approaching
time limit fixed for attainment of the goal of one hundred seventy-five
assemblies, emergency measures carefully, promptly devised by national
representatives of the community and wholeheartedly supported
by entire mass of the believers of the North American continent,
designed to safeguard the existing assemblies and rapidly multiply their
number, are imperative. The placing of further contract for Temple,
the reinforcement of basis of forthcoming Canadian National Spiritual
Assembly, the additional consolidation of the institutions of the Faith
in Latin America, the wider proclamation of its message to the masses,
even the multiplication of pioneers in the European field, should be
unhesitatingly subordinated to demands of the one disconcerting aspect
of an otherwise successfully conducted Plan. I address this last-minute
appeal to every single member of the community, the champion
warriors in the army of Bahá'u'lláh, which since launching the Plan
formulated by the Center of His Covenant never succumbed to defeat
nor was thwarted in its purpose, to arise resolutely, volunteer instantly
to fill the gap in the main defenses of the home front and register total
victory ere the termination of the second year of the Second Seven Year
Plan. Fervently praying for instantaneous, decisive response.
