There are no officers in this Cause.

Relative to certain matters which came up, Mr. A. W. Randall quoted the following words from Abdul-Baha: "There are no officers in this Cause. I do not and have not appointed any one to perform any special services, but I encourage every one to engage in the service of the Kingdom. The foundation of this Cause is purely a democracy, and not a theocracy."
