...every great Cause in this world of existence findeth visible expression
through three means: first, intention; second, confirmation; third,
action. Today on this earth there are many souls who are promoters of
peace and reconciliation and are longing for the realization of the
oneness and unity of the world of humanity; but this intention needeth a
dynamic power, so that it may become manifest in the world of being. In
this day the divine instructions and lordly exhortations promulgate this

the realization of this intention. Therefore, although the combined forces
and thoughts of the nations of the world cannot by themselves achieve this
exalted purpose, the power of the Word of God penetrateth all things and
the assistance of the divine Kingdom is continuous. Erelong it will become
evident and clear that the ensign of the Most Great Peace is the teachings
of Baha'u'llah, and the tent of union and harmony among nations is the
Tabernacle of the divine Kingdom, for therein the intention, the power and
the action, all three, are brought together. The realization of everything
in the world of being dependeth upon these three elements.

humanity and to universal peace, saying: O people! Baha'u'llah laid the
foundation of universal peace fifty years ago. He even addressed Epistles
to the kings wherein He declared that war could destroy the foundation of
the world of humanity, that peace is conducive to everlasting life and
that dire peril awaited mankind. Also three years before the outbreak of
the world war 'Abdu'l-Baha travelled to America and most of Europe, where
he raised His voice before all gatherings, societies and churches,
appealing: O ye assemblage of men! The continent of Europe hath virtually
become an arsenal filled with explosives. There are vast stores of
