500			_aThis is Shoghi Effendi's letter explaining the reasons for the world's present moral and social chaos and offering assurance that God has not abandoned humanity. Shoghi Effendi explains that God's purpose is to usher in a new Golden Age and that "the Hand of Providence" is working to fulfill that purpose. All are reminded of their duty to accept the Manifestation of God for this age and to "labor serenely, confidently, and unremittingly" to lend their share of help in whatever way they can to bring about the new world order.
