All national and international problems should be referred to this tribunal, and whatsoever be its decision that should be enforced. Were a government or people to dissent, the world as a whole should rise against it. And among His teachings is the equality in right of men and women, and so on with many other similar teachings that have been revealed by His pen. At present it has been made evident and manifest that these principles are the very life of the world, and the embodiment of its true spirit.
And now, ye, who are the servants of mankind, should exert yourselves, heart and soul, to free the world from the darkness of materialism and human prejudice, that it may be illumined with the light of the City of God. Praise be to Him, ye are acquainted with the various schools, institutions and principles of the world; today nothing short of these divine teachings can assure peace and tranquillity to mankind.
But for these teachings, this darkness shall never vanish, these chronic diseases shall never be healed; nay, they shall grow fiercer from day to day.
The Balkans will remain restless, and it condition will aggravate.
The vanquished will not keep still, but will seize every means to kindle anew the flame of war.
