The future of California, whether in regard to its material
affairs or its spiritual affairs, is very important. It is my hope that the
people of California may become the sons and daughters of the Kingdom and he
the means of promoting the religion of God.
Regarding the Exposition of 1915 which will be inaugurated
in San Francisco, America, undoubtedly from now on the Baha’is must arrange and
prepare ways and means so that a great number of them may be present on that
occasion. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet dated July 12, 1911; Star of the West, vol.
5, no. 17, January 19, 1915)
The believers of God from now on must think about going to
the Panama Pacific International Exposition (in San Francisco) Everyone goes to
the Exposition either for amusement or recreation, or in hope of obtaining
commercial benefits. But you, who are the believers of God, enter the
Exposition with the desire to summon the people to the divine Kingdom and
hoping to receive the breaths of the Holy Spirit.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet
dated April 14, 1914; Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 17, January 19, 1915)
As regards the second trip of ‘Abdu'l-Baha to America, if
the believers of God be enkindled and attracted to a superlative degree,
perchance this object will again be obtained. Capacity and capability are the
magnetic power.
