My heavy ladened heart, already oppressed by repeated defections of the
unworthy kindred of the beloved Master, is relieved by latest signal evidence
of the indomitable spirit of the members of divinely chosen American Bahá'í
community now unfurling the banner of the Faith and establishing the
structural basis of its administrative order in the world's southernmost city.
I hail the staunchness and fidelity distinguishing the winners of such superb
victories. I acclaim them true brothers and sisters worthy of the name
`Abdu'l-Bahá. I urge the Inter-America Committee to devote special attention
and undertake prompt measures designed to increase the number of
believers, establish local administrative headquarters, and multiply the
subsidiary agencies indispensable to the maintenance of a flourishing community
in the southern extremity of the western hemisphere. Praying ever increasing
successes.
