Joyfully announce to the Baha'i world the rapid progress of the final
stages of the construction of the Bab's mausoleum on Mt. Carmel, as well
as the splendid initiative of the Baha'is of Panama aiming at the
acquisition of the site of the first Ma_sh_riqu'l-A_dh_kar of Central
America. Erection of the lantern and the placing of the ribs of the dome
completed. Five thousand gilded tiles dispatched from Utrecht have been
safely received, half of which have been already placed in position,
disclosing a glimpse of the shining splendor of the completed dome.
Appeal to national assemblies, East and West, to participate through
contributions, in the meritorious endeavors exerted toward the eventual
establishment of a Baha'i House of Worship in the City of Panama,
specifically mentioned by 'Abdu'l-Baha, situated in the heart of the
Western Hemisphere. Myself contributed five hundred pounds for the
furtherance of this notable objective of the Ten Year Global Crusade.
Share message with national assemblies.
