The eminent Sadru's-Sudur, who hath verily attained a most
exalted station in the Retreats of Bliss, inaugurated the teaching meeting. He
was the first blessed soul to lay the foundation of this momentous institution.
God be praised, during the course of his life he educated persons who today are
strong and eloquent advocates of the Lord God, disciples who are indeed pure
and spiritual descendants of him who was so close to the Holy Threshold. After
his passing, certain blessed individuals took steps to perpetuate his teaching
work, and when He learned of it, this Captive's heart rejoiced.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, from
a Tablet; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Baha’i Education)
