In the period from the inception of the Guardianship to 1937 Shoghi Effendi laid the foundation of the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh in conformity with the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Some of the major accomplishments were:
Continued the translation work that began while he was still an assistant to 'Abdu'l-Bahá and later as a student at Oxford.
Explained the principles and structure of the Administrative Order.
Developed the constitutional structure of the local and national spiritual assemblies.
Clarified the relationships of these assemblies with the community of believers and elucidate the manner of their election and operation.
Emphasized that the Administrative Order was the channel through which the spirit of God would flow and instructed that they be ever watchful lest "the means supersede the end". [Pg209]
Imparted the vision of the new world order through his letter which have become to be know as "The World Order Letters". [PG209-215]
