Nor should the valuable and meritorious labors accomplished since the inception of the first Seven Year plan in Punta Arenas de Magallanes, that far-off center situated not only on the southern extremity of the Western Hemisphere, but constituting the southernmost outpost of the Faith in the whole world, be for a moment neglected in the course of the second stage in the development of the Divine plan. The assembly already constituted in that city, the remarkable radio publicity Secured by the believers there, the assistance extended by them to the teaching work in other parts of Chile, should be regarded only as a prelude to the Work of consolidation which must be indefatigably pursued. This Work, if properly carried out, in conjunction with the activities associated with the assemblies of Santiago, Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, and the groups of Puerto Montt, Valdivia, Quilpue, Temuco, Sewell, Chorrillos, Mulchen and other smaller ones, as well as several isolated localities in that republic, may well hasten the advent of the day when the Chilean followers of the Faith of Baha'u'llah will have established the first independent national spiritual assembly to be formed by any single nation of Latin America.
