After journeying throughout the United States of America,
and the great capitals and metropolis of Europe, I have returned to the East.
With the results of this journey I am most pleased and well satisfied because I
met noble people and associated with worthy souls, who are in reality the cause
of honour and glory to the world of humanity. They were learned and wise,
well-informed of the realities of events and the well-wishers of the human
world, especially the advocates of universal peace.

Tablet to the Editor of the Christian Commonwealth, London, England, 1913;
