Loyalty to world order of Bahá'u'lláh, security of its basic
institutions, both imperatively demand all its avowed supporters, particularly
its champion builders of the American continent, in these days when sinister,
uncontrollable forces are deepening the cleavage sundering peoples, nations,
creeds, and classes, resolve despite pressure of fast crystallizing public
opinion, abstain individually, collectively in word, action, informally as
well as in all official utterances and publications from assigning blame,
taking sides, however indirectly, in recurring political crises now agitating,
ultimately engulfing human society. Grave apprehension lest cumulative
effect of such compromises disintegrate fabric, clog channel of grace that
sustains system of God's essentially supra-national, supernatural order so
laboriously evolved, so recently established.
