When in Bahá'í history
London (today: London, UK)
When ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was asked if he recognized the good which the Theosophical Society has done. He replied:
I know it; I think a great deal of it. I know that their desire is to serve mankind. I thank this noble Society in the name of all Bahá’ís and for myself. I hope that by God’s help these friends will succeed in bringing about love and unity. It is a great work and needs the effort of all the servants of God!
