Already, the community of the believers of the North American continent - at once the prime mover and pattern of the future communities which the Faith of Baha'u'llah is destined to raise up throughout the length and breadth of the Western Hemisphere - has, despite the prevailing gloom, shown its capacity to be recognized as the torchbearer of that light, the repository of those mysteries, the exponent of that righteousness and the sanctuary of that freedom. To what other light can these above-quoted words possibly allude, if not to the light of the glory of the Golden Age of the Faith of Baha'u'llah? What mysteries could 'Abdu'l-Baha have contemplated except the mysteries of that embryonic World Order now evolving within the matrix of His Administration? What righteousness if not the righteousness whose reign that Age and that Order can alone establish? What freedom but the freedom which the proclamation of His sovereignty in the fullness of time must bestow?
(5:3)
