Moreover, when I see that it is only since the appearance of Bahá’u’lláh and the declaration of His principles that many movements have been established with the hope of spreading principles similar to His, when I see that it is since then that the conception of a League of Nations and International Brotherhood has come down from the field of mere idealism into common politics, that a movement for a Universal Language has been created, that women have been obtaining a better social and political position, and that the cause of Universal and free Education has been advanced,I cannot but endorse ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s saying that “the spirit of the Cause is pulsating in the arteries of mankind,” that we are undergoing that social and intellectual revival which appeared at the advent of every Prophet and prepared the world for accepting His Teachings.

In conclusion, it will be generally agreed that it would be far from God’s infinite mercy to give His helpless creatures the freedom to tread on dangerous ground, and whilst knowing the solution of their problems to stand aside heedless of their sufferings and deaf to their constant prayers. It is in accordance with His divine attributes to give them guidance when need arises, to send them a Messenger with the necessary laws and commandments to put them on the right path of safety. And now that the social unrest is becoming a real menace to civilization itself, when world problems in their acuteness and mUltiplicity are baffling the minds of men, we, a small yet determined band, fired by the unquenchable enthusiasm of the promise of a New Day, firmly believe that the sea of divine compassion has surged, that the Lord has sent His Messenger with the necessary solution of those intricate problems. The Bahá’ís on their part have tried their utmost, have sacrificed their well-being, their property, their all, to diffuse this spirit far and wide. Is the world willing to answer their call, or at least to deem it worthy of attention?
