October 12. On this date in 1912, 'Abdu'l-Bahá gave a talk at Temple Emmanu-El in San Francisco, later published as Address to the Jews and Christians, Muhammadans, and Jews, stating "Why do you not say that Christ was the Word of God? Why do you not speak these few words that will do away with all this difficulty? Then there will be no hatred and fanaticism, no more warfare and bloodshed in the Land of Promise...The century has come when all nations will be unified. The century has come when all the nations shall enjoy international peace. The century has come when all the races and tribes of the world shall do away with racial prejudice and associate fully. The century has arrived when all the natives of the world shall prove to be one home of the human family. Thus may mankind, in its entirety, rest comfortably and in peace under the great and broad tabernacle of the one Lord. "
In a word: the age is ours when fellowship is to be established.
The century has come when all the nations are to be unified.
The century has come when all the nations shall enjoy international peace.
The century has come when all the races and tribes of the world shall do away with racial prejudice and associate fully.
The century has arrived when all the natives of the world shall prove to be one home of the human family.
Thus may mankind, in its entirety, rest comfortably and in peace under the great and broad tabernacle of the one Lord.
