I appeal to entire body of believers to seize this priceless opportunity to stimulate the unfoldment of this process through generous, sustained contributions for the furtherance of an enterprise transcending any national institution whether Hazira or Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, reared in the past or in process of construction. The hour is propitious, particularly during the three year interval separating the Centennials of the Bab's martyrdom and the birth of Baha'u'llah's Mission, coinciding with the hundredth anniversary of the greatest holocaust in the history of the Faith, to repay part of the infinite debt of gratitude owed its martyrs, through hastening the conclusion of the holiest enterprise since the dawn of the Revelation, interwoven with the ministries of Baha'u'llah, and `Abdu'l-Baha linking the Heroic and Formative Ages of the Baha'i Dispensation, cementing the ties binding the communities of the East and West with the World Center of the Faith and shedding imperishable luster on the first and second centuries of the Baha'i Era, which posterity will hail as the most befitting tribute to the One Who made the most precious sacrifice for the sake of the most sublime Faith in mankind's spiritual history.
(6:3)
