6 Likewise the republic of Mexico is very important. The majority of the
inhabitants of that country are devoted Catholics. They are totally
unaware of the reality of the Bible, the Gospel and the new divine
teachings. They do not know that the basis of the religions of God is one
and that the holy Manifestations are like unto the Sun of Truth, rising
from the different dawning-places. Those souls are submerged in the sea of
dogmas. If one breath of life be blown over them, great results will issue
therefrom. But it is better for those who intend to go to Mexico to teach,
to be familiar with the Spanish language.
7 Similarly, the six Central American republics, situated south of
Mexico—Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and
the seventh country Belize or British Honduras. The teachers going to
those parts must also be familiar with the Spanish language.
8 Attach great importance to the indigenous population of America. For
these souls may be likened unto the ancient inhabitants of the Arabian
Peninsula, who, prior to the Mission of Muḥammad, were like unto savages.
When the light of Muḥammad shone forth in their midst, however, they
became so radiant as to illumine the world. Likewise, these Indians,
should they be educated and guided, there can be no doubt that they will
become so illumined as to enlighten the whole world.
9 All the above countries have importance, but especially the Republic of
Panama, wherein the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans come together through the
Panama Canal. It is a center for travel and passage from America to other
continents of the world, and in the future it will gain most great
importance.
10 Likewise the islands of the West Indies, such as Cuba, Haiti, Puerto
Rico, Jamaica, the islands of the Lesser Antilles, Bahama Islands, even
the small Watling Island, have great importance; especially the two black
republics, Haiti and Santo Domingo, situated in the cluster of the Greater
Antilles. Likewise the cluster of the islands of Bermuda in the Atlantic
Ocean have importance.
11 In a similar way, the republics of the continent of South
America—Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana,
French Guiana, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela;
also the islands to the north, east and west of South America, such as
Falkland Islands, the Galapagòs, Juan Fernandez, Tobago and Trinidad.
Likewise the city of Bahia, situated on the eastern shore of Brazil.
Because it is some time that it has become known by this name, its
efficacy will be most potent.
