May the memory of the Greatest Holy Leaf, who through her
life of heroic self- sacrifice has left to us "a legacy that time can
never dim," inspire the friends in every country of the continent [of
Africa] to rededicate themselves to the Cause of God, not to allow any
opportunity for mentioning the Faith to slip by un-utilized, and not to permit one
day of their lives to pass without a noble effort to draw nearer to the good
pleasure of the Blessed Beauty.

dated 19 August 1982 addressed to the friends gathered at the Baha'i
International Conference at Lagos; ‘Messages from the Universal House of
Justice 1963-1986’)
