The manifestation of such marvellous signs and mighty
undertakings, the influence exerted upon the thoughts and minds of the people,
the laying of the foundations of progress, and the establishment of the prerequisites
of success and prosperity by a young merchant constitute the greatest proof
that He [the Báb] was a universal Educator—a fact that no fair-minded person
would ever hesitate to acknowledge.
