The hope which ‘Abdu’l-Bahá cherishes for you is that the
same success which has attended your efforts in America may crown your
endeavors in other parts of the world, that through you the fame
of the Cause of God may be diffused throughout the East and the West and the
advent of the Kingdom of the Lord of Hosts be proclaimed in all the five
continents of the globe....
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter
dated June 15, 1946; ‘Messages to America’)
