To remedy this condition there must be universal peace. To bring this
about, a Supreme Tribunal must be established, representative of all
governments and peoples; questions both national and international must be
referred thereto, and all must carry out the decrees of this Tribunal.
Should any government or people disobey, let the whole world arise against
that government or people.
Yet another of the teachings of Baha'u'llah is the equality of men and
women and their equal sharing in all rights. And there are many similar
principles. It hath now become evident that these teachings are the very

will continue to agitate. They will resort to every measure that may

man, and to call into being for all humankind, comfort and peace.

embodiments of guidance, and banners of the Concourse on high, torches of
God's oneness, and stars of His pure truth, shining in the heavens where
God reigneth alone. They would give sight to the blind, and would make the
deaf to hear; they would raise the dead to life. They would confront all
the peoples of the earth, pleading their Cause with proofs of the Lord of
the seven spheres.
It is my hope that in His
