Nor should the "spacious territory of Alaska," particularly mentioned by 'Abdu'l-Baha in His Tablets of the Divine Plan, and at present the northern outpost of the Faith in the Western Hemisphere, be ignored, or its vital requirements neglected. The maintenance and consolidation of the first historic spiritual assembly in Anchorage, the northernmost administrative center of the Faith of Baha'u'llah in the world; the multiplication of Baha'i centers in that territory; the propagation of the teachings among the Eskimos, emphasized by 'Abdu'l-Baha's pen in those same Tablets; the translation and publication of selected passages from Baha'i literature in their native language; the extension of the limits of the Faith beyond Fairbanks and nearer to the Arctic Circle - these constitute the urgent tasks facing the prosecutors of the present Plan in the years immediately ahead.
