Selections From the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
or the greater part of the
Tablet to the Hague, have been omitted since they are available in separate publications.
The happy and blessed recipients of the vast majority of the
Tablets here included were the early believers of the east and west, whether individuals, organized committees or assemblies of the friends, and their value to the nascent communities of the west in those days when Bahá’í literature in English was meager in the extreme, cannot be overestimated.
It is believed that publication of these writings of the
Master’s will serve to increase the fervour of His lovers in responding to His call and add to their perception of that wondrous harmony of the human and divine which He, the
Mystery of God, so perfectly exemplified.
