… the friends are conscious that the work of the Cause
proceeds at different speeds in different places and for good reason—it is,
after all, an organic phenomenon—and they take joy and encouragement from every
instance of progress they see. Indeed, they recognize the benefit that accrues
from the contribution of each individual to the progress of the whole, and thus
the service rendered by each one, in keeping with the possibilities created by
a person’s circumstances, is welcomed by all.
