How Abdul Baha became the greatest example in the Bahá'í Faith?

You will remember that `Abdu'l-Bahá had been surrounded by Covenant-breakers.

Whatever material benefit would come to `Abdu'l-Bahá he would feed these Covenant-breaker with these things, and still they wanted more.

He fed them so perhaps they would keep quiet and no longer be dangerous for the Cause of God, and would not display themselves more than they had done in His time.

Because of this great nature that `Abdu'l-Bahá had, He became the greatest example in the Bahá'í Faith in the history of this Cause of God.
