MESSAGES TO AMERICA
by SHOGHI EFFENDI
GUARDIAN OF THE BAHÁ’Í FAITH
Selected Letters and Cablegrams Addressed to the Bahá’í’s of North America 1932–1946
“As the end of the First Century of the Bahá’í Era approaches, as the shadows descending upon and enveloping mankind steadily and remorselessly deepen, this community, which can almost be regarded as the solitary champion of the Faith in the Western World, is increasingly evincing and demonstrating its capacity, its worth, and ability as the torchbearer of the New, the World Civilization which is destined to supplant in the fulness of time the present one.”—Shoghi Effendi, December 3, 1940.
