Restitution of Baha'i Properties in Persia- Rejoice announce yet another victory won in cradle of Faith, swiftly following crushing defeat recently sustained by Covenant-breakers in Holy Land. National Haziratu'l-Quds in Tihran has been returned, completing thereby the restitution of Baha'i properties seized at the instigation of traditional enemies in Baha'u'llah's native land. (124:1) Purification of Haram-i-Aqdas- Announce to Hands and all National Assemblies that following the loss of the appeal to the Supreme Court, the Government expropriation order has been implemented, resulting in the complete evacuation of the remnant of Covenant-breakers and the transfer of all their belongings from the precincts of the Most Holy Shrine, and the purification, after six long decades, of the Haram-i-Aqdas from every trace of their contamination. Measures under way to effect transfer of title deeds of the evacuated property to the triumphant Baha'i community. (124:2) Announcement of Series of Five Intercontinental Conferences and Appointment of Eight Additional Hands of the Cause- On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the opening of the memorable Holy Year associated with the Centenary celebrations of the birth of the Mission of Baha'u'llah in the Siyah-Chal of Tihran - an anniversary falling only a few months before the decade-long global Spiritual Crusade, on which the entire company of His followers have embarked, will have reached its midway point - I feel moved to announce the convocation of a series of Intercontinental Conferences, five in number, to be held successively in Kampala, Uganda, in the heart of the African continent; in the city of Sydney, the oldest Baha'i center established in the Antipodes; in Chicago, where the name of Baha'u'llah was publicly mentioned for the first time in the western world; in the city of Frankfurt, in the heart of the European continent; and in Djakarta, the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia.
