pon man, be it material or spiritual, is subservient unto this.
It is, in its essence, and will ever so remain, the Bread which cometh
down from Heaven. It is God's supreme testimony, the clearest evidence of
His truth, the sign of His consummate bounty, the token of His
all-encompassing mercy, the proof of His most loving providence, the
symbol of His most perfect grace. He hath, indeed, partaken of this
highest gift of God who hath recognized His Manifestation in this Day.

Render thanks unto thy Lord for having vouchsafed unto thee so great a
bounty. Lift up thy voice and say: All praise be to Thee, O Thou, the
Desire of every understanding heart!

XCVI: THE PEN OF THE MOST HIGH IS UNCEASINGLY...

The Pen of the Most High is unceasingly calling; and yet, how few are
those that have inclined their ear to its voice! The dwellers of the

life of all men, the letters inscribed upon His sacred scroll. With the
utmost unity, and in a spirit of perfect fellowship, exert yourselves,
that ye may be enabled to achieve that which beseemeth this Day of God.
Verily I say, strife and dissension, and whatsoever the mind of man
abhorreth are entirely unworthy of his station. Center your energies in
the propagation of the Faith of God. Whoso is worthy of so high a calling,
let him arise and pro
