Conscious of the predominating share assumed, in recent years, by the
American believers in alleviating the burden which that most exalted Leaf
bore so heroically in the evening of her life, I can do no better than
entrust into their hands these prized testimonies of the Founder of our
Faith and of the Centre of His Covenant. I feel confident that their
elected representatives will take whatever measures are required for their
prompt and wide circulation among their brethren throughout the West. They
will, thereby, be contributing still further to the repayment of the great
debt they owe her in the prosecution of a mighty and divinely-appointed
task.

(59) It was through the arrival of these pilgrims,(60) and these alone,
that the gloom which had enveloped the disconsolate members of
‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s family was finally dispelled. Through the agency of these
successive visitors the Greatest Holy Leaf, who alone with her Brother
among the members of her Father’s household had to confront the rebellion
of almost the entire company of her relatives and associates, found that
consolation which so powerfully sustained her till the very close of her
life.

(61) With ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s ascension, and more particularly with the passing
of His well-beloved and illustrious sister the Most Exalted Leaf—the last
survivor of a glorious and heroic age—there draws to a close the first and
most moving chapter of Bahá’í history, marking the conclusion of the
Primitive, the Apostolic Age of the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh.

(62) The Fund associated with the beloved name of the Greatest Holy Leaf
has been launched. The uninterrupted continuation to its very end of so
laudable an enterprise is now assured. The poignant memories of one whose
heart so greatly rejoiced at the rearing of the superstructure of this
sacred House [the House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois] will so energize
the final exertions required to complete it as to dissipate any doubt that
may yet linger in any mind as to the capacity of its builders to worthily
consummate their task.
