Abdu'l-Baha aboard Cedric New York April 11 1912 |
Once when he was older and rode in an ordinary stagecoach to
return to His home, the driver thought that for a man of His appearance and
bearing that He should be riding in a private carriage. 'Abdu’l-Baha insisted
on using the stagecoach. At the end of His ride, He was stopped by a poor man
who pleaded for a few coins. Turning to the driver. He said, "Why should I
travel in a carriage when such as he needs money?"
