Messages to America: Selected Letters and Cablegrams Addressed to the Bahá'í's of North America 1932–1946
Shoghi, Effendi
Bahai Faith -- North America; Shoghi, Effendi, 1897-1957 -- Correspondence
Overjoyed, profoundly thankful for munificent donation made by American
Bahá’í community for international relief. Urge establishment of
communication with German believers and careful consultation with their
representatives to collaborate in publication and expansion of much needed
German Bahá’í literature. Delighted at news of consolidation of activities
in Central America, the progress of the Public Campaigns and development
of youth activities. Advise address special immediate appeal to American
believers to insure large, representative attendance at approaching
Convention owing to momentous, historic decisions to be disclosed to
assembled representatives of ever-victorious, increasingly blessed,
spiritually maturing American Bahá’í community.
Cablegram February 25, 1946
MOMENTOUS RESPONSIBILITIES
The assistance extended by the American Bahá’í Community to the
long-suffering German believers is a further evidence of their readiness,
so abundantly demonstrated in the past, to champion the interests, and to
rehabilitate the institutions of their sister communities throughout the
Bahá’í world. This support, so generously extended, so consistently and
faithfully offered by the rank and file of the American believers, and
particularly by their elected National representatives, is but a
subsidiary aspect of the tremendous undertakings which, in both the North
and South American continents, the standard bearers of the Faith of
Bahá’u’lláh have initiated and developed, for the promotion of its
interests, during the concluding decades of the first Bahá’í century.
