this, the most primitive and strange place I have thus far visited, hardly on the fringe, even, of human society. At five o’clock in the morning I shall entrain for Jhalrapatan, where an automobile will be waiting to take me thirty miles more on the journey to the Palace of His Highness the Prince, who will once again hear of the Revealed Word of God to man through Bahá’u’lláh and of how that creative Word has taken effect in the hearts of thousands upon thousands the world-over who believe that “the Religion and the law of God has descended from the heaven of the will of the Possessor of Eternity for the purpose alone of harmonizing and bringing into unity the peoples of the world.”
‘Abdu’l-Bahá at Green Acre, Maine, August 17, 1912.
