Bahiyyih Khanum, the Greatest Holy Leaf, the sister of the Master, was
the first to inform the Bahá'à world, by cablegram, that Shoghi
Effendi had been appointed to be the Head of the House of Justice,
which she did on January 16th, 1922.
Shoghi Effendi, the first Guardian of the Bahá'à Faith, had the right
to pass the mantle of Headship of the House of Justice to another man,
through the hereditary principle of the Bahá'à Faith, and he exercised
that right, passing the Headship of the House of Justice to Charles
Mason Remey, without even having acted as Head of that sacred body
himself. He could do that, because he was the appointed Guardian of
the Bahá'à Faith. Nobody else, nor any group had authority to appoint
anyone to be Head of the Universal House of Justice, and nobody, nor
any group had any trace of authority to form a Universal House of
Justice devoid of its sacred Head, as provided in the sacred and
immutable Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha'.
The formation of a headless Universal House of Justice was a violation
of the Holy Instructions of the Master, and a violation of the
Covenant of the Lord of this Age.
