hem to fulfil their unimaginably glorious Destiny. As the
proclamation of the Message reverberates throughout the land, as its
resistless march gathers momentum, as the field of its operation widens,
and the numbers of its upholders and champions multiply, its
potentialities will correspondingly unfold, exerting a most beneficent
influence not only on every community throughout the Baha'i world, but on
the immediate fortunes of a travailing society. The repercussions of this
campaign are already apparent in Europe, India, Egypt, 'Iraq and even
among the sore-tried communities in Persia and Russia. The Faith of God is
gaining in stature, effectiveness and power. Not until, however, the great
enterprise which you are now conducting runs its full course and attains
its final objective, at its appointed time, can its world-encompassing
benefits be fully apprehended or revealed. The perseverance of the
American believers will, no doubt, insure the ultimate realization of
these benefits.

A COMPLETE REDEDICATION
The progress of the teaching campaign is most remarkable and reassuring:
the uninterrupted prosecution of this holy enterprise and its extension to
the South American continent and the islands of the Pacific will no doubt
attract unimaginable blessings and must entail far-reaching consequences.
In the course of this year, when the American believers are commemorating
the 25th anniversary of 'Abdu'l-Baha's visit to America, a mighty impetus
should be lent to this campaign which you have so splendidly initiated. A
complete rededication to its ideals, its purposes and requirements on the
part of all individuals and Assemblies, can alone befit such a nation-wide
celebration. I pray that you may fulfil your high destiny.

INSTITUTION OF GUARDIANSHIP NOW FURTHER REINFORCED
Deeply moved by your message. Institution of Guardianship, head
cornerstone of the Administrative Order of the Cause of Baha'u'llah,
already ennobled through its organic connection with the Persons of Twin
Founders of the Baha'i Faith, is now further reinforced through direct
association with West and particularly with the American believers, whose
spiritual destiny is to usher in the World Order of Baha'u'llah. For my
part I desire to congratulate community of American believers on
acquisition of tie vitally binding them to so weighty an organ of their
Faith.
