A Tablet from `Abdu´l-Bahá, dated 3 May 1906, addressed to Mason Remey, included the following unique and highly significant statement whose momentous significance only became clear and its fulfilment realized more than a half-century later: (Star of the West, Vol V,No.19)
"Verily, I beseech God to make thee confirmed under all circumstances. Do not become despondent, neither be thou sad. Ere long, thy Lord shall make thee a sign of guidance among mankind"
To what else but Mason Remey's future accession to the Guardianship of the Faith could such a statement refer? There is no record of `Abdu´l-Bahá making a similar statement to any other believer, a declaration that can be construed in no other light than `Abdu´l-Bahá's clear promise that Mason Remey would in the future become Guardian of the Cause of God.
Permit us to prove to you that Shoghi Effendi brought to fulfillment this promise of the Master and thereby faithfully assured the continuance of the Guardianship after his passing in complete conformity with the provisions of the Will and Testament of `Abdu´l-Bahá and inform you of the impelling reasons why, he had to obscure from the believers, the appointment of this successor "in his own life-time" as required by the terms of `Abdu´l-Bahá's Testament. Then, let us reveal to you how he veiled this appointment, even though openly made and announced, in such an ingenious way that the believers, upon his passing, some six years later erroneously expecting to find a testamentary document appointing a successor, and not finding one, tragically failed to perceive the manner in which he had. appointed his successor and came to the hasty conclusion that the Guardianship of the Faith had forever ended. Failing in this way to perceive the undeniable validity of Mason Remey's appointment and accession to the Guardianship, they accepted a man-made corrupted organization set up by their self-appointed and faithless leaders as a substitute for the divinely-conceived Administrative Order delineated in the sacred and immortal Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha thus permanently precluding the establishment of the future World Order of Bahá'u'lláh in all of its perfection and glory.
