Question: ''Should these principles be spread under the name
of Baha'u'llah and ‘Abdu’l-Baha, or without these names?''
‘Abdu’l-Baha: "In the beginning you should mention
Baha’u’llah. They are His and are spread by ‘Abdu’l-Baha. When all the world
was in disorder, when warfare was prevailing in the East and the West, Russia
with Turkey, Persia with England and Afghanistan, and Garibaldi was fighting,
the East was in intense darkness. There was prejudice of race and religion;
national and political prejudice; the horizon was very dark. And at such a time
Baha’u’llah arose and spread a set of teachings."
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
recorded by Ann Kunz, Haifa, 1921; Star of the West, vol. 13, no. 6, September
1922)
