hearing ear; hast led me to Thy Kingdom and guided me to Thy Path. Thou
hast shown me the right way and caused me to enter the Ark of Deliverance.
O God! Keep me steadfast and make me firm and stanch. Protect me from
violent tests and preserve and shelter me in the strongly fortified
fortress of Thy Covenant and Testament. Thou art the Powerful! Thou art
the Seeing! Thou art the Hearing! O Thou the Compassionate God! Bestow
upon me a heart which, like unto glass, may be illumined wit the light of
Thy love, and confer upon me a thought which may change this world into a
rose-garden through the spiritual bounty. Thou art the Compassionate, the
Merciful! Thou art the Great Beneficent God!"

"O ye friends of God!..."

O ye(288) friends of God!

Do ye know in what cycle ye are created and in what age ye exist? This is
the age of the Blessed Perfection and this is the time of the Greatest
Name! This is the century of the Manifestation, the age of the Sun of the
Horizons and the beautiful springtime of His Holiness the Eternal One!

The earth is in motion and growth; the mountains, hills and prairies are
green and pleasant; the bounty is overflowing; the mercy universal; the
rain is descending from the cloud of mercy; the brilliant Sun is shining;
the full moon is ornamenting the horizon of ether; the great ocean-tide is
flooding every little stream; the gifts are successive; the favors
consecutive; and the refreshing breeze is blowing, wafting the fragrant
perfume of the blossoms. Boundless treasure is in the hand of the King of
Kings! Lift the hem of thy garment in order to receive it.

If we are not happy and joyous at this season, for what other season shall
we wait and for what other time shall we look?

This is the time for growing; the season for joyous gathering! Take the
cup of the Testament in thy hand; leap and dance with ecstasy in the
triumphal procession of the Covenant! Lay your confidence in the
everlasting bounty, turn to the presence of the generous God; ask
assistance from the Kingdom of Abha; seek confirmation from the Supreme
World; turn thy vision to the horizon of eternal wealth; and pray for help
from the Source of Mercy!

Soon shall ye see the friends attaining their longed-for destination and
pitching their tents, while we are but in the first day of our journey.

"O thou servant of the Threshold of God!..."

O thou servant(289) of the Threshold of God!
