| THE NEW HOUR HAS STRUCK | 
| 
     Convey to assembled believers celebrating termination entire dome unit 
of Mashriqu’l-Adhkár my heart-felt congratulations on triumphant progress 
of their undeniably glorious enterprise.  To prayers and testimonies ascending 
to Throne of Bahá’u’lláh I am moved to add my fervent though inadequate 
tribute to solidarity of so dazzling an achievement.  The forces which 
progressive revelation of this mighty symbol of our Faith is fast releasing 
in heart of a sorely tried continent no one of this generation can correctly 
appraise.  The new hour has struck in history of our beloved Cause, calling 
for nation-wide, systematic, sustained efforts in teaching field, enabling 
 
6
thereby these forces to be directed into such channels as shall redound to the 
glory of our Faith and to the honor of its institutions.
