Consider what the confirmations of Baha'u'llah have done,
for they brought us to the home of one who with such love has prepared a feast
in my name. How the power and influence of Baha'u'llah has linked the East and
the West, the divine outpouring is available and the merciful favors are
complete."
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, April 22, 1912, during a reception held
in His honor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jeffrey Parsons, Washington,
D.C.; Star of the West, vol.19, no. 3, June 1928)
