The universal Teachings of Bahá'u'lláh if
declared and propounded with wisdom and judgement, determination, selflessness
and sincerity, and above all if exemplified in our lives and dealings with our
fellow men, cannot fail to inspire and stimulate the mind of the enlightened
seeker and win the admiration and allegiance of all mankind.
Ours then is the duty and privilege to
bring to the attention of this distressed and war weary world this Message of
Eternal Salvation and help to establish the Era of Peace and Brotherhood as
purposed and foretold by Bahá'u'lláh.
