The love we bear mankind, our conviction that Bahá'u'lláh's
Faith contains the only and the Divine remedy for all its ills, must be
demonstrated today in action by bringing the Cause before the public. No doubt
the majority are not yet able to see its true significance, but they must not
be deprived, through our failure in obligation, of the opportunity of hearing
of it. And there are many precious souls who are seeking for it and ready to
embrace it.

Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II,
