On Friday, June 29. 1906. in the evening. 'Abdu'l-Baha addressed us (the pilgrims) in the following words. Pointing to the stars in the Heavens. He said in part:
"Were the whole world to act together in order to prevent these stars from giving light - verily they will fail to do so. Now. see how unwise are the enemies of the Cause - who are endeavoring to resist this Truth and quench this Light. How senseless are they! They do not see the Power of Baha'u'llah who proves the Truth of Christ to unbelievers after nineteen centuries, the Truth of Islam after thirteen centuries and the Truth of Abraham after four thousand years! They do not realize the Bounty of this Manifestation in that it upholds the Truth of all the Religions and unifies mankind upon the basis of faith in one God.”
