O ye friends of ‘Abdu'l-Baha! It has been sometime since
correspondence and letter writing has been postponed, because this servant of
the Threshold of the Almighty ‘Abdu’l-Baha has been travelling continually
throughout the East and the West for the last four years, reminding the people
of the appearance of the Manifestation of the Lord of Hosts so that the
Occident might become illumined and the Orient perfumed. Therefore, in all the
meetings and temples the cry of, "Ya Baha’u’l-Abha!" reached to the
zenith of the Supreme Concourse and the voice of, "0 my Lord the
Supreme!" soared unremittingly towards the Court of His Highness the
Almighty.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 14,
November 23, 1914)
