From one end of Persia to the other Baha'is are now to be found in almost every city and town, and even amongst the nomad tribes. In some villages the whole population is Baha'i and in other places a large proportion of the inhabitants are believers. Recruited from many and diverse sects, which were bitterly hostile to each other, they now form a great fellowship of friends who acknowledge brotherhood, not only with each other, but with all men everywhere, who are working for the unification and upliftment of humanity, for the removal of all prejudices and conflict, and for the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the world.
(160:5)
