Nothing short of the all-encompassing, all-pervading power
of His [‘Abdu’l-Baha] Guidance and Love can enable this newly-enfolded order
[Baha’i administrative order] to gather strength and flourish amid the storm
and stress of a turbulent age, and in the fulness of time vindicate its high
claim to be universally recognized as the one Haven of abiding felicity and
peace.

esteemed members of the American National Spiritual Assembly”, Baha’i News, no.
