The moment this Divine Message is carried forward by the
American believers from the shores of America, and is propagated through the
continents of Europe, of Asia, of Africa and of Australia, and as far as the
islands of the Pacific, this community will find itself securely established
upon the throne of an everlasting dominion. Then will all the peoples of the
world witness that this community is spiritually illumined and divinely guided.
Then will the whole earth resound with the praises of its majesty and
greatness.
(’Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated June 5,
1947, ‘Citadel of Faith’)
