The Greatest Drama of the World's Spiritual History
| |

Whether in the ferocious and insidious campaign of repression
and cruelty which the rulers of Russia have launched against the
upholders of the Faith under their rule; whether in the unyielding
animosity with which the Shiites of Islám are trampling upon the
sacred rights of the adherents of the Cause in connection with
Bahá'u'lláh's house in Baghdád; whether in the impotent rage which
has impelled the ecclesiastical leaders of the Sunnite sect of Islám
to expel our Egyptian brethren from their midst--in all of these we
can perceive the manifestations of the relentless hate which peoples,
religions, and governments entertain for so pure, so innocent, so
glorious a Faith.

Ours is the duty to ponder these things in our heart, to strive to
widen our vision, and to deepen our comprehension of this Cause,
and to arise, resolutely and unreservedly, to play our part, however
small, in this greatest drama of the world's spiritual history.
