     Abdu'l-Baha has written :
 
" Among the teachings of His Holiness Baha'u'llah is the oneness of the world
  of humanity; that all human beings are  the sheep of God  and He is the kind
  Shepherd. This Shepherd is kind to all the sheep, because He created them
  all, trained them, provided for them  and protected them. There  is  no  doubt
  that the shepherd is kind to all the sheep  and should there be among  these
  sheep ignorant ones, they must be educated ; if there be children, they must
  be trained until  they  reach  maturity; if  there  be  sick  ones,  they  must  be
 cured, There must be  no  hatred  and  enmity, for  as  by  a  kind  physician
these ignorant, sick ones should be treated. "
 
     Let us pray for the unity of Mankind:
 
"  O my God, O my God!
Unite the hearts of thy  servants,  and  reveal  to  them Thy  great  purpose.
May they follow  Thy  commandments  and  abide  in  Thy  law. Help them .
O  God ,  in  their  endeavour ,  and   grant  them  strength  to  serve  Thee.
O  God ,  leave  them  not  to  themselves, but guide their steps by the light
of  Thy  knowledge  and  cheer  their  hearts  by  Thy love. Verily, Thou  art
their helper and their Lord.   Baha'u'llah
