--Issue No. 1 December 1924:
O Son of Man!
O Son of Man!
Magnify My Cause, that I may make manifest unto thee the
secret of My greatness and shine upon thee with everlasting Light.
- Baha’u’llah
The time is indeed ripe for the manifold activities,
wherein the servants and handmaids of Baha’u’llah are so devoutly and earnestly
engaged, to be harmonized and conducted with unity, cooperation and efficiency,
that the effect of such a combined and systematized effort, through which an
All-Powerful Spirit is steadily pouring, may transcend every other achievement
of the past, however glorious it has been, and may stand, now that, to the eyes
of the outside world the glorious Person of the Master is no more, a convincing
testimony of the potency of His everliving Spirit.
- Shoghi Effendi
