This World Order will, in turn, in the course of successive Dispensations of the Baha'i Cycle, yield its fairest fruit through the birth and flowering of a civilization, divinely inspired, unique in its features, world-embracing in its scope, and fundamentally spiritual in its character - a civilization destined as it unfolds to derive its initial impulse from the spirit animating the very institutions which, in their embryonic state, are now stirring in the womb of the present Formative Age of the Faith. (75:1) Advise share this message with the Hands of the Cause and the members of the National Spiritual Assemblies throughout the Baha'i world. (75:2) International Archives Building and Design for Temple in Persia- On the occasion of the Naw-Ruz Festival marking the opening of the auspicious year being celebrated by the followers of the Faith in approximately sixteen hundred centers in the Western Hemisphere, above eight hundred in Asia, well nigh three hundred in Africa, more than two hundred in Europe and over one hundred in the Antipodes, I joyfully announce the commencement of the excavation for the foundations of the International Archives heralding the rise of the first edifice destined to inaugurate the establishment of the seat of the World Baha'i Administrative order in the Holy Land. (75:3) I announce moreover the selection of the design submitted by the Hand of the Cause, Mason Remey, for the projected Mother Temple in Baha'u'llah's native land, paving the way for the construction of the third Mashriqu'l-Adhkar of the Baha'i world. (75:4) Urge followers of the Faith in Eastern and Western Hemispheres to arise and lend support to the erection of these twin mighty institutions of the embryonic World Order of Baha'u'llah at the World Center of the Faith and within the cradle of His Revelation.
(75:5)
