Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Two years before the crash of world war shook the continents and upheaved oceans Abdul Baha Abbas visited the United States of America proclaiming the Glad-Tidings of Universal Peace and the oneness of the world of humanity. In his message he reviewed social, religious and political conditions of the nations, foretold clearly the impending clash and conflict of militarism, summoning mankind to the standard of divine guidance upraised in this cycle of the cycles by the manifestation and teachings of Baha 'Ullah. His visit extending from April to December 1912 covered an itinerary across the continent and return, involving an extraordinary and incredible expenditure of energy on the part of one who at the threshold of three score years and ten had spent practically his whole lifetime in exile and imprisonment for the cause of God.
This treasury of his words is a compilation of informal talks and extempore discourses delivered in Persian and Arabic, interpreted by proficient linguists who accompanied him, and taken stenographically in both Oriental and Occidental tongue.
Upon the day of his arrival in New York he said It is my purpose to set forth in America the fundamental principles of the revelation and teachings of Baha 'Ullah. It will then become the duty of the Bahais of this country to give these principles unfoldment and application in the minds, hearts and lives of the people. Abdul Baha's words therefore will be found characterized by a broad clear simplicity and practical basis, marked by an absence of metaphysical flights, philosophical speculation and mere rhetorical eloquence, always reflecting the pure beauty of the Word of God, that primal, essential, eternal foundation upon which rest religion, science and all human advancement.
Everywhere in his journeying throughout the United States Abdul Baha was received and welcomed in a spirit of love and reverence. Temples and churches of all
