THE MOTHER-TEMPLES OF THREE CONTINENTS- So brilliant and diversified a record of services to the Cause of Baha'u'llah, in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, has been greatly enriched by the plans now initiated for the launching of an ambitious three-fold enterprise, designed to compensate for the disabilities suffered by the sorely-tried Community of the followers of His Faith in the land of His birth, aiming at the erection, in localities as far apart as Frankfurt, Sydney and Kampala, of the Mother-Temples of the European, the Australian and African continents, at a cost of approximately one million dollars, complementing the Temples already constructed in the Asiatic and American continents. One-third of this sum I, gladly and with a grateful heart, pledge at this auspicious hour, a sum which, when added to the funds already donated for this laudable purpose, amounting to one hundred and forty thousand dollars - over one hundred thousand of which represents the munificent donation of the Hand of the Cause, Amelia Collins - will constitute well-nigh half of the entire amount required to ensure the consummation of this stupendous, epoch-making undertaking.
