…the well-wishers of the world of humanity and the advocates
of universal peace must make an extraordinary forward movement, organize
important international congresses, and invite as delegates most progressive and
influential souls from all parts of the world; so that through their wise
counsels and deliberations this ideal of Universal Peace may leap out of the
world of words into the arena of actuality and practical demonstration. It is
true that this question is of paramount importance, and will not he realized
easily. However, we must take hold of every means until the desired result is
obtained.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet to the Editor of the Christian
Commonwealth, London, England, 1913; ‘Star of the West’, vol. 5, no. 8, August
1, 1914)
