aid-servants of the Merciful!..."

O ye maid-servants of the Merciful!

Be rejoiced with the glad-tidings of God and thank your Lord for that He
assembled you in the brilliant gathering with illumined faces, pure
hearts, wherein the mysteries of God are printed, and spirits gladdened by
the fragrances of God. This is from His favor to you in this glorious
century.

I ask God to adorn your heads with the pearls of His favor, to ignite in
your hearts the fire of the love of God, to free your tongues in utterance

signs of holiness of the Kingdom among the people.

the shadow of His Name, the Merciful, the Clement.

hearts and your spirits from the Kingdom of ABHA.

Stand up, as the standing of the souls by whose lights of sincerity in the
Cause of God the horizons are shining, and guard the sheep of God with the
staff of the instructions of God.

I beg God to confirm thee to His will, as He confirmed the Apostles (of
Jesus) aforetime.

I know, verily, that the universal, never ending, eternal, bright and
divine establishments are only the diffusing of the breaths of God, and
the spreading of the instructions of God, and all that are beside these,
though they be the reigning over all the regions of the earth, or the
construction of railroads from the earth to the heavens, or means of
transportation with the rapidity of rising lightning from the globe of
earth to the globe of the sun, all are but mortal, peris
