CHAPTER XXI
The Passing of Abdu'l- Baha
Abdu'l- Baha's great work was now ended. The historic Mission with which His Father had, twenty- nine years previously, invested Him had been gloriously consummated. A memorable chapter in the history of the first Baha'i century had been written. The Heroic Age of the Baha'i Dispensation, in which He had participated since its inception, and played so unique a role, had drawn to a close. He had suffered as no disciple of the Faith, who had drained the cup of martyrdom, had suffered, He had labored as none of its greatest heroes had labored. He had witnessed triumphs such as neither the Herald of the Faith nor its Author had ever witnessed. (309:1)
