HIS HOLINESS ABDUL BAHA ASCENDED TO ABHA KINGDOM INFORM FRIENDS
GREATEST HOLY LEAF
Fac-simile of cablegram announcing the Departure
The Night has come
“His Holiness Abdul-Baha ascended to Abha Kingdom.”
With these words the Bahais of the whole world are stunned.
Some years ago His Holiness Abdul-Baha said:
“These great days are swiftly passing and once gone can never be recalled, so while the rays of the Sun of Truth are still shining and the Center of the Covenant of God is manifest, let us go forth to work, for after awhile the night will come and the way to the Vineyard will not then be so easy to find.”
In this world the night has come—
And in the heavenly world ?
O for the pen of a Milton, the brush of a Doré and the music of a Handel, to convey a fleeting glimpse of what is transpiring!
If it were according to Divine Wisdom that such a scene be pictured, only the vision and Word of Him who has ascended could describe it!
But His utterance is stilled—
And our pen is broken.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In this hour we find ourselves chanting the Tablet of Visitation.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Ya-Baha-el-Abha!”
“Ya-Abdul-Baha!”
Ya-Ali-el-Ala!
