THE PIVOT ON WHICH HINGES SUCCESS I recall with profound emotion, on the morrow of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of 'Abdu'l-Baha's passing, the dramatic circumstances marking simultaneously the termination of the Heroic Age, and the commencement of the Formative Period, of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. (108:2) I acclaim with thankfulness, joy and pride the American Baha'i community's manifold, incomparable services rendered the Faith at home and across the seas in the course of this quarter century. (108:3) I hail with particular satisfaction the consummation of the twin major tasks spontaneously undertaken and brilliantly discharged by the same community in both the administrative and missionary fields, constituting the greatest contribution ever made to the progress of the Faith by any corporate body at any time, in any continent, since the inception of the administrative order.
(108:4)
