…the goals before you, are not impossible of attainment,
however far they may seem to be now. They will be reached, not by the efforts
of the Baha’is alone, but by those efforts reinforced by the all-conquering
power of God. It was said of ’Abdu’l-Baha that He walked the mystical path with
practical feet; this is what the European Baha’is must do now. Upheld by
prayer, confident in the irresistible power of the Will of God, the friends,
exerting every effort in the path of service, must become willing instruments
of the Almighty, channels for the divine power which is shepherding mankind
into one fold.
