continent has at last at
this critical hour, this great turning-point in its fortunes, entered upon
what may well be regarded as the opening phase of a great spiritual
revival that bids fair to eclipse any period in its spiritual history.

May the elected representatives of the National Baha'i communities
entrusted with the conduct of this momentous undertaking launched on the
soil of this continent, aided by the Hands of the Cause and their
auxiliary boards, reinforced by the local communities, the groups and
isolated believers sharing in this massive and collective enterprise, and
supported by the subsidiary agencies to be appointed for its efficient
prosecution, be graciously assisted by the Lord of Hosts to contribute, in
the years immediately ahead, through their concerted efforts and
collective achievements, in both the teaching and administrative spheres
of Baha'i activity, to the success of this glorious Crusade, and lend a
tremendous impetus to the conversion, the reconciliation and the ultimate
unification of the divers and conflicting peoples, races and classes
dwelling within the borders of a travailing, a sorely-agitated and
spiritually-famished continent.

May all the privileged participators, enlisting under the banner of
Baha'u'llah for the promotion of so pre-eminent and meritorious a Cause,
be they from the Eastern or Western hemisphere, of either sex, white or
coloured, young or old, neophyte or veteran, whether serving in their
capacity as expounders of the teachings, or administrators, of His Faith,
as settlers or itinerant teachers, distinguish themselves by such deeds of
heroism as will rival, nay outshine, the feats accomplished nineteen
hundred years ago by that little band of God-intoxicated disciples who,
fearlessly preaching the Gospel of a newly-arisen Messiah, contributed so
decisively to the illumination, the regeneration and the advancement of
the entire European continent.
