Such marvelous progress, involving such diversified activities, extending over so immense a field, within such a brief space of time, and notwithstanding the smallness of the numbers of the participants in this Global Crusade, the meagerness of their resources and the restrictions imposed upon them by those who are either unsympathetic to their Cause, or alarmed by their rising influence, or envious of the pervasive power of the Faith they champion, impels me to announce, in anticipation of the opening of the third phase of the Ten-Year Plan, the formation, during Ridván, 1957, in addition to the three Regional National Spiritual Assemblies to be elected in 1956 in the African continent, of thirteen National Spiritual Assemblies, some of which will be regional, others independent, some interim and others permanent.

May the Almighty guide your steps in the path of service, remove all obstacles from your path, and enable you to extend the range of your meritorious services, and win great victories in the days to come, Your true brother, Shoghi 20 October 1956 Dear Bahá’í Friends: Your loving letter of October 3rd was presented to the Beloved Guardian.
One officer summed it up neatly when he told me, "It isn't the UFO's that give us the trouble, it's the people." As a double check I called several newspaper editors the other day and asked, "Why don't you print more UFO stories?" The answers were simple, it's the old "dog bites man" bit ninety-nine per cent have no news value any more. On May 10, 1956, the man bit the dog.
May the Almighty, Whose Cause you serve so devotedly, reward you abundantly for your labours, remove all obstacles from your path, and enable you to win great victories in the days to come, Your true brother, Shoghi 8 June 1956 Dear Bahá’í Co-workers: The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write you, in response to your recent letter to him, with regard to the modified Temple plans of Mr.
