Mourn loss of immortal heroine, Marion Jack, greatly loved and
deeply admired by `Abdu'l-Bahá, a shining example to pioneers of
present and future generations of East and West, surpassed in constancy,
dedication, self-abnegation and fearlessness by none except the
incomparable Martha Root. Her unremitting, highly meritorious activities
in the course of almost half a century, both in North America and
Southeast Europe, attaining their climax in the darkest, most dangerous
phase of the second World War, shed imperishable luster on contemporary
Bahá'í history.

This triumphant soul is now gathered to the distinguished band of
her co-workers in the Abhá Kingdom; Martha Root, Lua Getsinger,
May Maxwell, Hyde Dunn, Susan Moody, Keith Ransom-Kehler, Ella
Bailey and Dorothy Baker, whose remains, lying in such widely
scattered areas of the globe as Honolulu, Cairo, Buenos Aires, Sydney,
Tihrán, Isfahán, Tripoli and the depths of the Mediterranean Sea
attest the magnificence of the pioneer services rendered by the North
American Bahá'í Community in the Apostolic and Formative Ages of
the Bahá'í Dispensation.

and the European Teaching Committee a befitting memorial gathering

and Canadian National Assemblies the expenses of the erection, as
soon as circumstances permit, of a worthy monument at her grave,
destined to confer eternal benediction on a country already honored by
its close proximity to the sacred city associated with the proclamation of
the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh.
