The Beloved Guardian has instructed me to write to you and ask you to please send me the name and address of the Bahá’í in Samoa, also the name and address of the Bahá’í in New Caledonia. And, will you please advise if a spiritual assembly was formed in Suva on April 21st. This news has come indirectly and he very much wants to have it confirmed by the NSA. You may be sure his eager eyes are on these new places and any news about them makes his heart very happy. Please send the name and address of the secretary of Suva. The news of the 2nd International Bahá’í Conference has been very thrilling and the Beloved Guardian has been exceedingly happy about it all. If you will please send the information asked for by return AIR MAIL, I will be very deeply grateful to you. The work on the Shrine is going ahead very wonderfully, a few tiles have already been placed. We hope someday you will all make the pilgrimage and see this most beautiful Shrine in the heart of Mt. Carmel, fulfilment of prophecy. Devoted love and thanks Affectionately, Jessie E. Revell LETTER OF JUNE 14, 1953 Haifa, Israel, June 14, 1953. To the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Australia and New Zealand. Dear Bahá’í Friends: Our Beloved Guardian has been greatly encouraged by reports reaching him from all parts of the Bahá’í World of the victories already gained, and the plans being laid for the prosecution of the Ten Year Crusade. They have evoked his awe-inspiring, and soul-stirring cablegram of May 28th, calling for the immediate settlement of all the 131 virgin areas of the Plan. He is convinced that the Friends will arise and translate their enthusiasm into Action, because the Keynote of the Crusade must be Action, Action, Action! The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write your Assembly to amplify some of the aspects of his dynamic message. The settlement of these virgin areas is of such an emergency nature, that he feels pioneering in one of them, takes precedence over every other type of Bahá’í service—whether it be in the teaching or administrative fields of the Faith. In the United States some 150 people have volunteered for pioneer service, and some of them already are preparing to leave for their posts. The Guardian has informed the United States National Assembly, that because of their being the Chief Executor of the Divine Plan of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá for teaching throughout the World, their pioneers may be sent to any virgin area in the world, regardless to which NSA it may be assigned. If any of their pioneers wish to settle in any of the areas assigned to your Assembly, they will communicate with you.
