As we contemplate the fruits of the Master's Ministry
harvested during the first fifty years of the Formative Age, a period dominated
by the dynamic and beloved figure of Shoghi Effendi, whose life was dedicated
to the systematic implementation of the provisions of the Will and Testament of
'Abdu'l-Bahá and of the Tablets of the Divine Plan -- the two charters provided
by the Master for the administration and the teaching of the Cause of God - we
may well experience a sense of awe at the prospect of the next fifty years.
