Abstract	"C'est une belle et noble philosophie que celle de l'optimisme, de la tolérance et de la fraternité. Ce n'est pas toujours hélas ! celle que pratiquent nos réformateurs sociaux; et il est singulier de constater qu'on la rencontre moins souvent chez nous que chez ces Musulmans que l'Occident, mal informé, accuse si volontiers de fanatisme. Un homme vient de parcourir l'Europe en prêchant cette doctrine de sérénité et de bonté. Il est Persan d'origine et s'appelle Abdul-Baha. Il est le fils et le digne continuateur de Baha-Oullah, prophète et fondateur du Bahaisme, qui, voici tantôt un demi-siècle, commença de répandre dans le monde musulman des idées de tolérance et de fraternité...." [In English: "It is a beautiful and noble philosophy, that of optimism, tolerance and fraternity. It is not always alas ! that which our social reformers practice; and it is singular to note that one less often meets it on our premises than among these Moslems, towards which the Occident, badly informed, so readily regards them with fanaticism. A man has just traversed Europe preaching these doctrines of serenity and kindness. He is Persian of origin and is called 'Abdu'l-Bahá. He is the son and the worthy successor of Bahá'u'llah, prophet and founder of the Bahá'í Faith, which, after a half-century, has begun to spread in the Moslem world the ideas of tolerance and fraternity..."]
