O ye who are considering the Kingdom of your august Savior!

I know the ardor which enflames you both(132) with the desire to present
yourselves in the Sacred Place and I desire, also, to see you both. But my
Lord hath a supreme wisdom and His wisdom hath required the imprisonment
of Abdul-Baha and the prevention of visits of impassioned friends. It is a
temporary condition that will pass away in the future. In the meantime I
shall remember you in my heart and I love you with a holy affection that
is spiritual, divine, eternal and perpetual; that is founded on the surest

veils and to illumine your hearts with lights shining from the Supreme

enlightened spirit, an eloquent speech and a radiant expression. In those
regions God will, through you, become the guide of many people.

straight road, to preserve you from violent tests, in making of you two
green and fruitful trees in His great vineyard, to the end that ye may
arrive at a favor that shall make of you two elected ones in the court of
the august Lord. Appreciate this favor and give thanks to your Savior that
He hath heaped upon you this great kindness.

O thou who art turning unto the Kingdom of God!

Thy letter is received and perused. It afforded us joy and pleasure, gave
us good news and is the token of the wealth of thy love. This period of
time is the Promised Age, the assembling of the human race to the
"Resurrection Day" and now is the great "Day of Judgment." Soon the whole
world, as in springtime, will change its garb. The turning and falling of
the autumn leaves is past; the bleakness of the winter time is over. The
