Message to 1951 State Conventions
| |
1 |
Advise assembled friends to focus attention on vital, pressing,
paramount needs of National Fund at this critical juncture. Hour is
ripe to recall unnumbered tribulations, sacrifices heroically endured by
the dawn-breakers, culminating in Bahá'u'lláh's afflictive imprisonment
in Síyáh Chál, Centennial of which is now approaching. Urge
deepening realization of sacredness, preeminent importance of twin
purposes which individual resolves serve. Appeal for immediate, unanimous,
sustained, decisive response, safeguard thereby American
Community's share in tribute to memory of Founder of Faith on
occasion of forthcoming Jubilee of Birth of glorious Mission. Praying
for befitting answer to heartfelt plea.
[November 4, 1951]
