SHOGHI EFFENDI'S SIGNIFICANT PROMISE

"Everything that is written in the Will and Testament [of 'Abdu'l-Baha] will
be fulfilled. The Baha'is must not be anxious about this."

The above quoted words of Shoghi Effendi are extracted from the Haifa Notes
of Gayle Woolson, (Feb.16-25, 1956) renowned pioneer to Latin America whose
outstandingly successful teaching efforts in several countries throughout
Latin America were chronicled at the time in many issues of the Baha'i
Newsletter of the United States. She was subsequently elected to the first
Regional Spiritual Assembly of South America. Her credibility is therefore
of the highest order.

True to his word, Shoghi Effendi unquestionably provided for the
continuation of the Guardianship. Why then did the Hands of the Cause,
following his passing, terminate the Institution of the Guardianship and, in
their undue haste to do so, not take the time to discover the manner in
which Shoghi Effendi had clearly effected the appointment of his successor,
not by testamentary document but "in his own lifetime," as required under
the sacred terms of the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha?
