March 21, 1932: To Baha’is of North America

Would to God that by the end of the spring of the year 1933 the multitudes who, from the remote corners of the globe, will throng the grounds of the Great Fair to be held in the neighborhood of that hallowed shrine [Chicago Temple] may, as the result of your sustained spirit of self-sacrifice, be privileged to gaze on the arrayed splendor of its dome – a dome that shall stand as a flaming beacon and a symbol of hope amidst the gloom of a despairing world.
