Look at the history of the world and try to find a parallel
instance in which a native of the East has come to the countries of the West,
particularly America, and called out to them in the churches and meetings
there, raised the divine call in many of the large cities and invited everyone
to the Abhá Kingdom, with no one taking exception. Nay, on the contrary, those
present at the gatherings have heard him with patience and unbounded joy. These
things have been achieved solely through the confirmations of the Abhá Kingdom. - 'Abdu'l-Baha (Utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, September 13, 1912, Chicago, 'Mahmud’s Diary')
