As to the three aims which Shoghi Effendi has stated in his
America and the Most Great Peace to have been the chief objectives of
‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s ministry, it should be pointed out that the first was: The
establishment of the Cause in America; the erection of the Bahá’í Temple in
Ishqábád, and the building on Mt. Carmel of a mausoleum marking the
resting-place of the Báb, were the two remaining ones.

on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, ‘Directives from the Guardian')
