Completed Tasks Release Outpouring of Grace

Welcome Assembly's high resolve to insure uninterrupted Temple
construction. Deeply moved and thankful for continued evidence of the
inflexible determination with which the rank and file of the clear-sighted,
high-minded, divinely sustained American Bahá'í Community,
its representatives, national, local and regional, its pioneers at
home and overseas, discharge in distant fields, despite the smallness
of their numbers and their limited resources, tasks of such vast
dimensions, of so diversified a character, of such great moment, at so
significant a stage in the declining fortunes of an imperiled society. I
feel convinced that unflinching maintenance of so exalted a standard of
stewardship at the threshold of Bahá'u'lláh must release in still greater
measure the outpouring of His grace so essential and befitting the
consummation of a Divine Plan deriving its authority from the pen of
the Center of His Covenant and propelled by agencies created through
the generative influence of His Will and Testament.
[September 14, 1948]
