In connection with the Plan of Unified Action, enclosed in your letter of
January 19th, I feel that the friends must be constantly reminded of the
vital necessity for a continuous and whole-hearted support of the scheme,
the success or failure of which will to a marked extent affect the course
of the progress of the Cause not only in Northern America but throughout
the Baha'i world. Let the friends recall and ever bear in mind the
repeated exhortations and glowing promises of our beloved Master with
reference to the Ma_sh_riqu'l-A_dh_kar, the crowning institution in every
Baha'i community. Let them arise with determination and confidence to lend
a helping hand to the Plan which you have so admirably devised for its
speedy and practical realization. Theirs is a splendid opportunity; let
their response to your call be prompt, whole-hearted and decisive.
I have specially requested that indefatigable pioneer of the Cause of God,
our well-beloved Baha'i sister, Mrs. Victoria Bedekian, to concentrate for
the present all the resources of her mind and heart upon this vast and
vital undertaking. I have urged her to direct her energies to this lofty
purpose, and by the aid of her most valuable letters arouse both the East
and the West to a fresh consciousness of the significance and urgency of
the object you have set yourselves to achieve.
Regarding the series of World Unity meetings which some of the thoughtful,
capable and devoted servants of the Cause have carefully organized and
successfully conducted, and to which you have referred in your letter of
March 8th, I wish to express my keen appreciation of such a splendid
conception, my deep gratitude for the efforts they have exerted, and my
gratification in view of the success they have achieved.
