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.
