Announce to friends of East and West completion of two additional terraces
marking termination of scheme initiated quarter century ago designed to
fulfill Master's cherished desire to connect directly, through series of
nine terraces, the Bab's Sepulcher with Templar Colony at foot of Mount
Carmel. Machinations of Covenant-breakers who succeeded in shelving
project for more than decade foiled. Hail success of enterprise presaging
the day destined to witness, as envisaged by 'Abdu'l-Baha, pilgrim kings
ascending this route to pay humble tribute to Martyr-Herald of Faith of
Baha'u'llah.
