Visit to the Lord Mayor
| |
1 |
At the express wish of the Lord Mayor,
`Abdu'l-Bahá paid him a visit early one morning
at the Mansion House. The talk turned chiefly
upon the social conditions of great cities, and
`Abdu'l-Bahá said that London was the best
regulated city he had seen.

He said: "Every man walking in the street is
free as if he were in his own kingdom. There is a
great spiritual light in London. The effort made
for justice is real and in this country the law is the
same for the poor as for the rich." He took great
interest in hearing of the care that is taken of
prisoners as they leave jail, and spoke of the land
being happy where the magistrates are as fathers
to the people.

Before `Abdu'l-Bahá left London, he went to an
East-end hospital to visit there a young writer
lying seriously ill, who was very anxious to see
him.
