Messages to America: Selected Letters and Cablegrams Addressed to the Bahá'í's of North America 1932–1946

The one remaining and indeed the most challenging task confronting the
American Bahá’í Community has at long last been brilliantly accomplished.
The structural basis of the Administrative Order of the Faith of
Bahá’u’lláh has, through this superb victory, and on the very eve of the
world-wide celebrations of the Centenary of His Faith, been firmly laid by
the champion-builders of His World Order in every state of the Great
Republic of the West and in every Province of the Dominion of Canada. In
each of the Republics of Central and South America, moreover, the banner
of His undefeatable Faith has been implanted by the members of that same
community, while in no less than thirteen Republics of Latin America as
well as in two Dependencies in the West Indies, Spiritual Assemblies have
been established and are already functioning—a feat that has outstripped
the goal originally fixed for the valiant members of that Community in
their inter-continental sphere of Bahá’í activity. The exterior
ornamentation of the first Ma_sh_riqu’l-A_dh_kár of the West—the
culmination of a forty year old enterprise repeatedly blessed and
continually nurtured by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá has, furthermore, through a
remarkable manifestation of the spirit of Bahá’í solidarity and
self-sacrifice so powerfully animating the members of that stalwart
community, been successfully completed, more than a year in advance of the
time set for its termination.
The triple task undertaken with such courage, confidence, zeal and
determination—a task which ever since the inception of the Seven Year Plan
has challenged and galvanized into action the entire body of the American
believers and for the efficient prosecution of which processes of a
divinely appointed Administrative Order had, during no less than sixteen
years, been steadily evolving—is now finally accomplished and crowned with
total victory.
