The world is in great turmoil, and what is most pathetic is that it has learned
to keep away from God, Who alone can save it and alleviate its sufferings. It
is our duty, we who have been trusted with the task of applying the divine
remedy given by Bahá’u’lláh, to concentrate our attention upon the
consummation of this task, and not rest until the peace foretold by the
Prophets of God is permanently established….
