2 `Abdu'l-BAHÁ'S MINISTRY (Re: World Objectives)

"As to the three aims which Shoghi Effendi has stated in his America and the Most Great Peace to have been the chief objectives of `Abdu'l-Baha's ministry, it should be pointed out that the first was: The establishment of the Cause in America; the erection of the Bahá'í Temple in Ishqábád, and the building on Mt. Carmel of a mausoleum marking the resting-place of the Báb, were the two remaining ones."
