Though it is premature to try and endeavour to foresee on what basis
various nations would be represented on any international council, or in
any international form of government, it is clear that from the Bahá’í
standpoint it could only be carried out on a basis of true justice; and
justice does not imply one race having a preponderating vote over some
other race’s representatives, and thus being in a position to dominate
them.

What ‘Abdu’l-Bahá meant about the women arising for peace is that this is
a matter which vitally affects women, and when they form a conscious and
overwhelming mass of public opinion against war there can be no war. The
Bahá’í women are already organized through being members of the Faith and
the Administrative Order. No further organization is needed. But they
should, through teaching and through the active moral support they give to
every movement directed towards peace, seek to exert a strong influence on
other women’s minds in regard to this essential matter.

The teachings of Bahá’u’lláh will establish a new way of life for
humanity. Those who are Bahá’ís must endeavour to establish this way of
life just as rapidly as possible. Now that the hour has arrived when the
Bahá’í Faith is gaining prominence, and is being reviewed by so many
peoples, it is necessary that the adherents of the Faith should live up to
the high ideals of the Faith in every way. In this way they can
demonstrate that the Bahá’í Faith does create a new way of life, which
brings to the individual a complete association with the Will of God, and
thus the establishment of a peaceful and universal society. Divisional
attachments are of men, while universal service is of God.
The Guardian is now anxious that all the friends achieve a universal
consciousness and universal way of life.
