The all-conquering Spirit
of Bahá’u’lláh cannot prove effective in this world of strife and turmoil, and
cannot achieve its purpose for mankind, unless we, who are named after His
Name, and who are the recipients of His Grace, endeavour, by our example, our
daily life and our dealings with our fellow-men, to reveal that noble spirit of
love and self-sacrifice of which the world stands in need at present.
(Shoghi
Effendi, excerpt from a letter dated 17 February 1923 to the Baha’is of London,
Manchester and Bournemouth)
