The teaching victories in that Plan have been truly
prodigious; the points of light, those localities where the Promised One is
recognized, have increased from sixty- nine thousand five hundred to over
ninety-six thousand; the number of Local Spiritual Assemblies has grown from
seventeen thousand to over twenty-five thousand; eighteen new National
Spiritual Assemblies have been formed. The final report will disclose in all
their manifold aspects the magnitude of the victories won.
