Shoghi Effendi reminds us that this historic mission, described by him asthe birthright of the North American Bahá’í Community”, is rooted in the words of the Twin Manifestations of God to humanity’s age of maturity.

"Aiwah, Effendi. The Omdeh does not live in the rocks, like the bats. His house is just outside the village. He is very rich he owns many camels and much cotton and he has a date-farm. He is entitled to three wives." "Very well, Abdul. I put myself in your hands." Michael sighed.
