Some of the passengers brought their children to visit
‘Abdu'l-Bahá. He showered them with His blessings and loving-kindness, so much
so that the children did not want to leave Him.
“The Blessed Beauty”, He said,
“has taught us to love children and to be the lovers of the whole human race.”
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha aboard the Cedric, April 8, 1912, recorded
by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
