hall be illumined with the light of God's
bounty!

I pray for a heavenly blessing to descend upon the heart of [thy wife],
for she arose for the spreading of God's fragrances. I ask God to protect
thee and her from the winds of trial. May thy tongue be moved to utter
beautiful explanations and may the hearts of the people of Johnstown
(N.Y.) become tender, so that they may be guided to the Fountain of the
Water of Life and be illumined by the lights shining from the kingdom of
heaven.

not sorrowful when meeting with worldly difficulties and depressions, for
they pass away--and thine shall be immortality during ages and centuries,
times and cycles.

the heavens and the earth. ***O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom of
God!

blessing. Then will spirit and fragrance prevail, and joy and rejoicing

and the eternal peace and rest appear. I trust, through the bounty of
ABHA, that ye may be strengthened to serve and to spread the Word of
God.***

The giving .... the ring(89) of the Greatest Name is very beautiful. The
ring should be worn on the small finger of the right hand.

The prayer for forgiveness(90) is behalf of those who have passed,
ignorant, from this world, will be sent as requested.

Regarding the "two wings" of the soul: These signify wings of ascent. One
is the wing of knowledge, the other of faith, as this is the means of the
ascent of the human soul to the lofty station of divine perfections.***

"O Thou Forgiving Lord!..."

O Thou Forgiving Lord!(91)

Although certain souls finished the days of life in ignorance, were
estranged and selfish, yet the ocean of Thy forgiveness is, verily, able
to redeem and make
