ers, circulars, reports,
bulletins and other means of communication with these established
instruments designed for the propagation of the Faith, insure the smooth
and speedy functioning of the teaching machinery of their Administrative
Order. Confusion, delay, duplication of efforts, dissipation of energy
will, thereby, be completely avoided, and the mighty flood of the grace of
Baha'u'llah, flowing abundantly and without the least obstruction through
these essential channels will so inundate the hearts and souls of men as
to enable them to bring forth the harvest repeatedly predicted by
'Abdu'l-Baha.

Upon every participator in this concerted effort, unprecedented in the
annals of the American Baha'i community, rests the spiritual obligation to

member of any Spiritual Assembly let him encourage his Assembly to
consecrate a certain part of its time, at each of its sessions, to the
earnest and prayerful consideration of such ways and means as may foster
the campaign of teaching, or may furnish whatever resources are available
for its progress, extension, and consolidation. If he attends his summer
school--and everyone without exception is urged to take advantage of

opportunity so to enrich, through lectures, study, and discussion, his
knowledge of the fundamentals of his Faith as to be able to transmit, with
greater confidence and effectiveness, the Message that has been entrusted
to his care. Let him, moreover, seek, whenever feasible, through
intercommunity visits to stimulate the zeal for teaching, and to
demonstrate to outsiders the zest and alertness of the promoters of his
