The Bahá’í Centenary 1844-1944/Bahá’í Headquarters
BAHÁ’Í HEADQUARTERS[edit]
Central Office of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States and Canada, 536 Sheridan Road, Wilmette, Illinois.
Hail historic act signalizing auspicious conjunction (in) heart (of) North American continent (of the) institutions (of) Haziratu’l-Quds (and) Mashriqu’l-Adhkár, (the) twin foci (of) steadily evolving American Bahá’í community life. (The) former henceforth regarded (as) national Seat upon which all administrative channels (of) Bahá’í activity must increasingly con-verge. (The) latter permanently recognized (as) ordained Source from which rays (of) spiritual guidance will radiate. Upon (the) vigorous, constant inter-action (of the) dynamic forces which these complementary institutions embodying administrative machinery and incarnating (the) Soul (of the) Bahá’í community can release (the) effectual prosecution (of the) Seven Year Plan as well as (the) success (of) ultimate World Mission unquestionably depends. May (the) community responsible (for the) establishment (of) these nascent institutions progressively contribute (to) acceleration (of) their growth and derive fullest benefit (from) their eventual fruition.
