The triumphant termination of the second phase of the decade-long global
Spiritual Crusade on which the followers of the Faith of Baha'u'llah have
so auspiciously embarked impels me to share with the delegates assembled
at the Annual Baha'i Conventions convened in all the continents of the
globe the feelings of joy, of pride and of thankfulness which so
significant a victory has evoked in my heart.
