It is nearly two years and a half that I have been a
wanderer over mountains and deserts and a traveler over seas and lands. The
journey was extended to many climes. The penetrative power of the Holy Cause
has stirred the columns of the world. in many cities of America, the Divine
Call was raised. Likewise, in the countries of Europe. In many churches, clubs,
meetings and universities of America the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom of Abha
were explained explicitly with a resonant voice, and no one arose in
opposition. They listened most attentively and expressed their pleasure
afterward. Ere long this Call shall yield the most glorious results and will
fill the world with its fruits.
