Two days before ‘Abdu’l-Bahá left Paris, a woman came anxiously into a gathering at the Avenue de Camoens. Breathlessly, the woman said: 'Oh, how glad I am to be in time! I must tell you the amazing reason of my hurried journey from America. One day, my little girl astonished me by saying: 'Mummy, if dear Lord Jesus was in the world now, what would you do?' 'Darling baby, I would feel like getting on the first train and going to him as fast as I could.' 'Well, Mummy, He is in the world.' I felt a sudden great awe come over me as my tiny one spoke. 'What do you mean my precious? How do you know?', I said. 'He told me Himself, so of course He is in the world.' Full of wonder, I thought: 'Is this the sacred message which is being given to me out of the mouth of my babe?' And I prayed that it might be made clear to me. The next day she said, insistently, and as though she could not understand: 'Mummy darlin', why isn't you gone to see Lord Jesus? He's told me two times that He's really here, in the world.' 'Tiny love, Mummy doesn't know where He is. How could she find him?' 'We see Mummy, we see.' I was naturally perturbed. The same afternoon, being out for a walk with my child, she suddenly stood still and cried out, 'There He is! There He is! She was trembling with excitement and pointed at the window of a magazine store where there was a picture of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. I bought the paper, found this address, caught a boat the same night, and here I am.
