Now that they (the American believers) have erected the
administrative machinery of the Cause they must put it to its real use—serving
only as an instrument to facilitate the flow of the spirit of the Faith out
into the world. Just as the muscles enable the body to carry out the will of
the individual, all Assemblies and committees must enable the believers to
carry forth the Message of God to the waiting public, the love of Bahá’u’lláh,
and the healing laws and principles of the Faith to all men.
