We need but glance at the Words of Bahá’u’lláh and the
Epistles of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to realize the great privilege of teaching the Cause,
its vital necessity, its supreme urgency, and its wide-reaching effects. These
are the very words of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá:—
“In these days, the Holy Ones of the Realm of Glory,
dwelling in the all-highest Paradise, yearn to return unto this world, and be
of some service to the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh and prove their servitude to the
Threshold of Abhá beauty.”
What a wondrous vision these words unfold to our eyes! How
great our privilege to labor in this Day in the Divine Vineyard! Is it not
incumbent upon us to arise and teach His Cause with such an ardor which no
worldly adversity can quell, nor any measure of success can satiate?
