…was it not ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s own pen which, as far back as the
dark years of the first World War, had forecast the splendour of the memorable
achievements which, spiritually and materially, would distinguish and
illuminate its annals in the years to come? “The future of the Dominion of
Canada ... is very great and the events connected with it infinitely
glorious... Again I repeat that the future of Canada is very great, whether
from a material or a spiritual standpoint.”
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 1 March 1951 to the Canadian
National Spiritual; ‘Messages to Canada’)
