The conjunction of these three resting- places, under the shadow of the Bab's own Tomb, embosomed in the heart of Carmel, facing the snow- white city across the bay of Akka, the Qiblih of the Baha'i world, set in a garden of exquisite beauty, reinforces, if we would correctly estimate its significance, the spiritual potencies of a spot, designated by Baha'u'llah Himself the seat of God's throne. It marks, too, a further milestone in the road leading eventually to the establishment of that permanent world Administrative Center of the future Baha'i Commonwealth, destined never to be separated from, and to function in the proximity of, the Spiritual Center of that Faith, in a land already revered and held sacred alike by the adherents of three of the world's outstanding religious systems.
