1933-09-06 re contribs to Temple Fund
USBN #78 - October 1933 - page 2
on the subject of the Temple, written to the National Assembly in his own hand:-
"The magnificent achievement of the American believers, the stupendous
efforts they have exerted in the month of August on behalf of the Temple Fund
cannot be allowed to pass unnoticed. A fresh record of service, an unexampled
standard of self-sacrifice has been attained and established through their
concerted, their persistent and heroic efforts. The entire Baha'i world cannot but
feel thrilled as it contemplates such striking evidences of Baha'i solidarity, of
spiritual fervor, of self-abnegation. Abdu'l-Baha, from the realms above, looks
down upon those responsible for such deeds with feelings of unmitigated pride, joy
and satisfaction. The concluding stages of this stirring episode in the history of
the Faith in that land must witness still greater triumphs, must establish a still
more excellent standard of Baha'i stewardship. The remaining months of September
and October must set the seal of final and complete victory to an enterprise that
stands unparalleled in the annals of the Cause in the West. Your true and grateful
brother, Shoghi." (September 6, 1933).
