Newly-launched Central American campaign marks official inauguration of
long-deferred World Mission constituting ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s distinctive legacy
to the Bahá’í Community of North America. Chosen Community broadening its
basis, gaining in stature, deepening in consecration. Its vanguard now
entering arena monopolized by entrenched forces of Christendom’s mightiest
ecclesiastical institutions. Laboring amidst race foreign in language,
custom, temperament embracing vast proportion of New World’s ethnic
elements. American believers’ isolated oversea teaching enterprises
hitherto tentative, intermittent, now at end. New epoch opening, demanding
exertions incomparably more strenuous, unflinchingly sustained, centrally
directed, systematically organized, efficiently conducted. Upon alacrity,
tenacity, fearlessness of present prosecutors of the unfolding mission
depend speedy and fullest revelation, in the First and Second Centuries,
of the potentialities of the birthright conferred upon American believers.
Convey to pioneers in North, Middle and South America my eagerness to
maintain with each direct, personal contact. Assure Teaching and
Inter-America Committees my delight at successive testimonies of
believers’ glowing spirit reflected in Minutes, letters and reports
recently received. Entreat every section of community to labor
unremittingly until every nation in Western Hemisphere is illumined by
rays and woven into fabric of Bahá’u’lláh’s triumphant Administrative
Order.
Cablegram May 28, 1939
