The magnificent victories achieved in the teaching field and the sphere
of administrative activity by the American Bahá'í community crowned with
glory the historic services rendered by the followers of Bahá'u'lláh
throughout the West during the last fifty years of the first Bahá'í Century.
I rejoice in the brilliant celebrations befittingly consummating the record of
splendid achievements. Immediate attention should be focused in the course of
the opening year of the Second Century on consolidation of the nobly-won
victories through reinforcement of newly formed Assemblies, multiplication
of groups and increase in number of Assemblies as well as corresponding
effort through Latin America. Praying for continuous flow of Divine
outpourings.
