Behold the power and confirmation of
the Blessed Beauty: The pastor comes in person with all humility to invite us
and the proprietor of a leading journal sends his automobile for our use, so
that we may raise the call of God in the church. Truly, such confirmations have
never been seen in other dispensations and in no age have the Manifestations of
the Cause of God met with such reverence and honor. But these things should be
the cause of humility and self-effacement. We must not consider that they are due
to our addresses or our eloquence. These shining lights which you see will
instantly darken if the origin of their bounty is severed from them.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, 24 September 1912, Denver, USA; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
