ARCHBREAKER OF COVENANT
The Hand of Omnipotence has removed the archbreaker of Bahá’u’lláh’s Covenant, his hopes shattered, his plottings frustrated, the society of his fellow-conspirators extinguished. God’s triumphant Faith forges on, its unity unimpaired, its purpose unsullied, its stability unshaken. Such a death calls for neither exultation nor recrimination, but evokes overwhelming pity at so tragic a downfall unparalleled in religious history.

Cablegram December 20, 1937
