Now that you have determined on the design for the Temple, it is most important that you secure the land on which it is to be built.
The Guardian feels this is a task of the utmost importance, as time is rapidly passing on, and he fears that if the work on the Temple is not started soon, it will not be completed during the Ten Year Crusade, which would be a sad state of affairs.
The Guardian will be happy to learn at an early date, of what progress you have made with regard to the location of the Temple....
Letter of 31 July 1956
31 July 1956
Dearly Beloved Friends:
The Beloved Guardian has directed me to write you in connection with the Temple design for Germany, and the activities in connection therewith.
1. The Guardian feels your Assembly should not announce the selection at this time, to the Friends. You should, quietly, review the matter carefully, and ascertain what the cost of construction will be. It may be if the expense is out of line with the amounts available, then some other considerations will have to be given.
