Since the transmission of my recent message conveying news of the
magnificent progress achieved by Bahá'í communities, a substantial addition
to the endowments dedicated to the Shrines raises the holdings in the Jordan
Valley to over five hundred acres. The extension of teaching enterprises
East and West, the multiplication of Bahá'í endowments, national and
international, the consolidation of administrative institutions, above all the
superb evidences of incorruptible loyalty to `Abdu'l-Bahá and His Will, equally
proclaim the unyielding determination of the world community to seal with
triumph the first Bahá'í Century.
