Bahullh stated at that meeting6
" That all nations should become one in faith and all men as brothers; that
the bonds of affection and unity between the sons of men should be
strengthened; that diversity of religion should cease, and differences of race
be annulled what harm is there in this? Yet so it shall be; these fruitless
strifes, these ruinous wars shall pass away, and the 'ost !reat eace' shall

glory in this, that he loves his %ind#"
