racter of its fundamental
principles, and assert the non-political character of its administrative
institutions.

Appeal to members of communities untrammeled by the disabilities and
shackles imposed on their less privileged brethren, particularly those
established in the North American continent, recognized stronghold of the
administrative order of the Faith, and those residing in the British
Commonwealth and Empire, situated in the heart, the East and West of the
African continent, scattered throughout the Antipodes and Pacific area, to
arise promptly and accelerate the tempo of their activities, multiply
exploits which will more than offset the transient setbacks which a
steadily-advancing and as yet not fully-emancipated Faith may suffer.
Theirs is the sublime opportunity so to act as to thoroughly dishearten
and confound any schemes which envious, fanatical and embittered
adversaries, tottering to their fall, may devise.

Archbreaker of Baha'u'llah's Covenant

Announce to National Assemblies that Majdi'd-Din, the most redoubtable
adversary of 'Abdu'l-Baha, denounced by Him as the incarnation of Satan
and who played a predominant part in kindling the hostility of
'Abdu'l-Hamid and Jamal Pa_sh_a, and who was the chief instigator of
Covenant-breaking and archbreaker of Baha'u'llah's Covenant, and who above
sixty years labored with fiendish ingenuity and guile to undermine its
foundations, miserably perished struck with paralysis affecting his limbs
and tongue. Dispensation of Providence prolonged the span of his infamous
life to a hundred years, enabling him to witness the extinction of his
cherished hopes and the disintegration with dramatic rapidity of the
infernal crew he unceasingly incited and zealously directed, and the
triumphant progress and glorious termination of 'Abdu'l-Baha's thirty-year
ministry as well as evidences of the rise and establishment in all
continents of the globe of the administrative order, child of the
divinely-appointed Covenant and harbinger of the world-encircling order.

World-Wide Reverberations

Mysterious dispensations of ever-watchful Providence, hastening, through
turmoil and trial, the triumph of His undefeatable Faith, dictating at
this critical hour the sudden deterioration of the situation confronting
the largest community of the Baha'i
