Letter of 30 August 1953 |
Your letter of 5th August has been received by the beloved
321
Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.

The contributions made by the British Bahá’í community to
the Shrine of the Báb Fund and to the Bahá’í International Fund
are greatly appreciated. Receipts are enclosed herewith.

The Shrine of the Báb is rapidly nearing completion. Its
beauty and splendour are difficult to portray. Certainly the
Guardian very aptly described the octagon, the drum and the
dome as the triple crowns on the Shrine of the Báb. Now that
the glory and splendour of the golden dome is revealed by the
removal of all of the scaffolding, it is truly a golden crown for
the Shrine, and each time one looks at it, one becomes more and
more impressed that it is a symbol of the manner in which the
Bahá’ís of the world, led by the beloved Guardian, are crowning
the Bahá’í activities of the past one hundred years by spreading
the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord throughout the world.
