The Bahá’í World
Volume 2 : 1926-1928
—Mrs. Stannard motoring over with a friend. And during September, three or four Bahá’ís found each other on Mount Pélerin—that sunny and peaceful summit! There the clergyman attached to a little English Church recently opened, joined friends from Paris, England and America, and with the magnificent panorama of the Savoy Alps and the whole of the Swiss Riviera spread out before them — they studied together the teachings of Swedenborg—that great Evangel—comparing them with the Bahá’í Scriptures. A truly illuminating study in an ideal environment!
Nyon, Vevey and Montreux-beloved as we know by members of the family of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá—and now ablaze with the season’s glory—have had Bahá’í guests. And who knows what spiritual wirelessing may have been operating, preparing minds and hearts all along this lovely route—a route so rich, too, in literary associations—for the blaze of a greater Glory than that of their woods in autumn, the recognition of a sublime and sacred literature written by the power of a Supreme Pen!
And so we labor on, with the stirring words of Shoghi Effendi ringing in our hearts:
“Naught else can provide that driving force and sustaining power that are both so essential to the success of vast and enduring achievements . . . but the realization, down in the innermost heart of every true believer, of the regenerating power, the supreme necessity, the unfailing efficacy of the Message he bears.”
