The “three aims” of “the chief objectives of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s ministry"

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 Baha’i Temple in Ishqabad, and
• the building on Mt. Carmel of a mausoleum marking the resting-place of the Bab, were the two remaining ones.
