Welcome Initial Victory
| |
1 |
Greatly welcome, much impressed by remarkable feat of initial
victory collectively achieved by self-sacrificing efforts of invincible,
far-visioned, forward-marching American Bahá'í Community. Ultimate
victory now in sight bidding fair to bring present emergency period to
triumphant conclusion, seal fate of Second Seven Year Plan and
open prospect of glorious inauguration at appointed time of third
collective Plan designed to terminate initial chapter in story of
mysterious unfoldment of Divine Plan. Rejoice particularly at
formulation of teaching plans so vitally linked with immediate destiny
of Temple enterprise. Owing to relaxation of pressure occasioned
by critical situation advise direct special attention to invigorate
activities conducted in Latin America and European continent.
Need for voluntary, self-supporting, wholly dedicated pioneers calculated
to supplement newly launched undertaking in both fields is
still pressing and acquiring greater urgency owing to approaching
emergence of Latin American national assemblies and necessity to
consolidate swiftly the newly-formed local assemblies in ten European
goal countries. Heart uplifted at contemplation of mighty range of
accomplishments embracing so vast a field in both hemispheres. Prayers
continually ascending to Abhá throne both in thanksgiving for marvelous
bounties already vouchsafed and in supplication for renewal of
strength for attainment of future goals.
