FRIENDS, know that the believers of God must be the cause of union and love
among all mankind, and until they attain to perfect harmony and agreement they will not become the remedy for the healing of this sick world. From the very beginning of the Mashrak—el—Azkar in Ishkabad, Russia, day by day, everything has been in perfect harmony, until the believers there accomplished their aim, and it was builded easily, fcir it was builded by love. Now I hope that in America it will be the same as in Russia, and the Mashrak-el-Azkar there be erected by the power of the union and love existing among the believers.
Extract from a message to the American believers, revealed by ABDUL-BAHA, Acca, Syria, January, 1909; translated by his daughter, Monever Khánum.
