TRIBULATIONS are Inevitable- Many and divers are the setbacks and reverses Which this nation, extolled so highly by 'Abdu'l-Baha, and occupying at present So unique a position among its fellow nations, must, alas, suffer. The road leading to its destiny is long, thorny and tortuous. The impact of various forces upon the structure and polity of that nation will be tremendous. Tribulations, on a scale unprecedented in its history, and calculated to Purge its institutions, to purify the hearts of its people, to fuse its Constituent elements, and to Weld it into one entity with its Sister nations in both hemispheres, are inevitable. (36:3)
