That His Word will eventually be spread and firmly
established none of us can ever doubt; my only yearning and hope is that we may
through sustained effort and prayer be graciously aided to hasten by our words
and deeds the advent of this glorious and long-awaited Day.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a message dated 4 February 1924 addressed to “The beloved of the Lord and
the handmaids of the Merciful throughout Canada”; ‘Messages to Canada’)
