As the Baha'i Administrative Order rapidly expands
throughout the world it behoves everyone associated with it to familiarize
himself with its principles, to understand its import and to put its precepts
into practice. Only as individual members of Local Spiritual Assemblies deepen
themselves in the fundamental verities of the Faith and in the proper
application of the principles governing the operation of the Assembly will this
institution grow and develop toward its full potential.
