y teach the Faith, they will find that the Cause
will grow and develop in each of these new areas.

You should not overlook the fact that one of the goals of the Ten-Year
Crusade is the establishment of a National Assembly in Japan. This can be
brought about more quickly if the friends set aside all other
considerations and actively teach the Faith.

The sacred gift which the Guardian sent to the Japanese Baha'is through
Mr. Takano is of course for the Hazira as soon as it is procured. It is
one of the very sacred relics, and the Guardian hopes it will be a source
of inspiration to the friends to redouble their efforts in the teaching
field.

The beloved Guardian sends his loving greetings to each and every one of
you. He is praying for the success of your teaching work. He feels the
time is ripe for a rapid expansion of the Faith in Japan; and that if
everyone will arise with renewed effort, they will be surprised at the
spiritual victories which they will achieve.

[Letter of June 8, 1954]

Please refer to our previous correspondence with regard to the purchase of
a Haziratu'l-Quds in Tokyo. The beloved Guardian feels this is a matter of
great importance, and should be accomplished during the present year.

He has written to the American N.S.A. in detail concerning the matter,
instructing them to proceed at once with the development of this project,
so that it may be concluded during the present year, if at all possible.

The beloved Guardian is sending a contribution of L500. As you know, a
Haziratu'l-Quds was given by Mr. Momtazi in Mukonoso, Hyogo-ken. The
Guardian would see no objection to this Haziratu'l-Quds being sold, and
the fund received thereby being used to defray the cost of the
Haziratu'l-Quds in Tokyo. It is far more important that a Hazira be
established in Tokyo, which is the seat of the future National Assembly,
than in Mukonoso, Hyogo-ken. Of course this can only be done in case Mr.
Momtazi is entirely agreeable.

[Letter of July 19, 1954]

Your loving letter ... has just come to hand, telling of the funds which
you have available now, since the generous gift of Mr. N. Momtazi, for the
Haziratu'l-Quds in Tokyo.

You have in mind that the Hazira need not be an elaborate place. It should
be a building which you own, a
