I am eagerly awaiting the news of the progress of the activities initiated
to promote the teaching work within, and beyond, the confines of the American
continent. The American believers, if they wish to carry out, in the
spirit and the letter, the parting wishes of their beloved Master, must
intensify their teaching work a thousandfold and extend its ramifications
beyond the confines of their native land and as far as the most distant
outposts of their far-flung Faith. The Tablets of the Divine Plan invest your
Assembly with unique and grave responsibilities, and confer upon it privileges
which your sister Assemblies might well envy and admire. The present
opportunity is unutterably precious. It may not recur again. Undaunted by the
perils and the uncertainties of the present hour, the American believers must
press on and prosecute in its entirety the task which now confronts them. I
pray for their success from the depths of my heart.
