1 Compare:--"My Name is 'Abdu'l-Baha. My Reality is 'Abdu'l-Baha: and
Service to all the human race is my perpetual Religion....
'Abdu'l-Baha is the Banner of the Most Great Peace ...The Herald of
the Kingdom is he, so that he may awaken the people of the East and
the West. The Voice of Friendship, of Truth, and of Reconciliation
is he, quickening all regions. No name, no title will he ever have,
except 'Abdu'l-Baha. This is my longing. This is my Supreme height.
O ye friends of God! 'Abdu'l-Baha is the manifestation of Service,
and not Christ. The Servant of humanity is he, and not a chief.
Summon ye the people to the station of Service of 'Abdu'l-Baha and
not his Christhood." (From a letter sent to the friends in New York,
January 1st, 1907.)
