It is easy to accept the Kingdom, but it is difficult to
endure therein for the tests are hard and heavy. On all occasions the English
are firm and are not turned aside, being neither prone to begin a matter for a
little while nor ready to abandon it for a little reason through failing in
zeal. Verily in every undertaking they show firmness.

Tablet to the Baha’is of England, Star of the West, vol. 2, no. 5, June 5, 1911)
