Baha’u’llah and the New Era

CHAPTER 4: 'ABDU'L-BAHA: THE SERVANT OF BAHA
26/30

As the vast concourse pressed round ...

representatives of the various denominations, Moslems, Christians and Jews, all hearts being ablaze with fervent love of 'Abdu'l-Baha, some on the impulse of the moment, other prepared, raised their voices in eulogy and regret, paying their last homage of farewell to their loved one.
So united were they in their acclamation of him, as the wise educator and reconciler of the human race in this perplexed and sorrowful age, that there seemed to be nothing left for the Baha'is to say .-- The Passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha, by Lady Blomfield and Shoghi Effendi, pp.

11, 12.
Nine speakers, all of them prominent representatives of the Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities, bore eloquent and moving witness to their love and admiration of the pure and noble life which had just drawn to its close.

Then the casket was slowly passed to its simple and hallowed resting-place.
Surely here was a fitting tribute to the memory of One Who had labored all His life for unity of religions, of races, of tongues--a tribute, and also a proof, that His lifework had not been in vain, that the ideals of Baha'u'llah, which were His inspiration, nay, His very life, were already beginning to permeate the world and to break down the barriers of sect and caste that for centuries had alienated Muslim, Christian, Jew, and the other diverse factions into which the human family has been riven.
Writings and Addresses The Writings of 'Abdu'l-Baha are very numerous and are mostly in the form of letter to believers and inquirers.

A great many of His talks and addresses have also been recorded and many have been published.
