"O God, my God!" the people wailed with one accord, "Our father has left us, our father has left us!" .. they slowly wended their way up Mount Carmel, the Vineyard of God.. After two hours' walking, they reached the garden of the Tomb of the Bab.. As the vast concourse pressed round .. representatives of the various denominations, Moslems, Christians and Jews, all hearts being ablaze with fervent love of 'Abdu'l-Baha, some on the impulse of the moment, others prepared, raised their voices in eulogy and regret, paying their last homage of farewell to their loved one. So united were they in their acclamation of him, as the wise educator and reconciler of the human race in this perplexed and sorrowful age, that there seemed to be nothing left for the Baha'is to say. - The Passing of 'Abdu'l-Baha, by Lady Blomfield and Shoghi Effendi, pp. 11, 12.
