Compulsory education for children, and the extension of educational facilities for adults, have become a primary policy of government.

Nations which deliberately seek to restrict that very policy have aroused revolution within and suspicion and fear outside their boundaries.
Baha'u'llah commanded the adoption of a universal auxiliary language, and Dr.Zamenhof and others obeyed His call by devoting their lives and genius to this great task and opportunity.
Above all, Baha'u'llah imbued humanity with a new spirit, arousing new longings in minds and hearts and new ideals for society.

Nothing in all history is so dramatic and impressive as the course of events since the dawn of the Baha'i era in 1844.

Year by year, the power of a dead past prolonged through outworn ideas, habits, attitudes and institutions has weakened, until at present every intelligent man and woman on earth realizes that humanity is passing through its most terrible crisis.

On the one hand we see the new creation arising as the light of Baha'u'llah's teaching has revealed the true path of evolution.
