"'Abdu'l-Baha is the Peace Prophet of this age.... We wish to hear of the efforts of those who have gone before him and of His own splendid efforts bringing about the unity of all mankind. I therefore give the time entirely to our friend and the friend of humanity everywhere, 'Abdu'l Baha Abbas of Persia, more recently of Palestine. " - Dr. Russell H. Conwell, founder of Temple University, introducing 'Abdu'l-Baha at the Baptist Temple in Philadelphia.
