The “conclusion of the Primitive, the Apostolic Age of the Faith of Baha'u'llah”
With 'Abdu'l-Baha's ascension, and more particularly with
the passing of His well-beloved and illustrious sister the Most Exalted Leaf --
the last survivor of a glorious and heroic age -- there draws to a close the
first and most moving chapter of Baha'i history, marking the conclusion of the
Primitive, the Apostolic Age of the Faith of Baha'u'llah. It was 'Abdu'l-Baha
Who, through the provisions of His weighty Will and Testament, has forged the
vital link which must for ever connect the age that has just expired with the
one we now live in -- the Transitional and Formative period of the Faith -- a
stage that must in the fullness of time reach its blossom and yield its fruit
in the exploits and triumphs that are to herald the Golden Age of the
Revelation of Baha'u'llah.
