in love for Baha', a firmness and steadfastness
resembling that of immovable mountains and lofty hills.

O maid-servant of God! Deliver my greetings, praise and longings to the
beloved of God and His maid-servants in that remote region, and say unto
them:

"Hasten, hasten to the fountain of the mercy of God! Hasten, hasten to
enter into the Kingdom of God! Hasten, hasten to the effulgence which is
shining like unto the sun from the Supreme Horizons throughout ages and
cycles!

"O beloved of God and His maid-servants! Verily the Beauty of El-Abha hath
endured every hardship, calamity and great affliction in love for you, so
that ye may be directed by the lights of the Kingdom unto the King of the
Realm of Might, and be shining as a brilliant light in the glass of the
contingent world. Hasten to avail yourselves of the opportunity to enter
[the protection of] the inaccessible Cause and lofty Shelter!

"Truly I say unto you, this is a gift which neither the dominion of the
world, nor the riches of treasuries, nor the glory of the distinguished
men of the world, can equal in this glorious century and new age; inasmuch
as crowns are transient, while this is eternal and never ending."

O my Lord! O my Lord! Strengthen them in whatsoever Thou willest, with
that Thou willest, upon what Thou willest!

"O maid-servant of God!..."

O maid-servant of God!

Verily thy letter indicated thy faith in the Oneness of God. I ask God to
make thee firm in His Religion, to confirm thee through the breath of the
Holy Spirit, so that thou mayest speak the teachings of God and guide the
people unto the Kingdom.

O maid-servant of God! Verily the bounty of God upon thee is great, great!
If thou remainest firm in the path of the love of thy Lord, thou shalt
behold the doors of success and progress open before thy face from all
sides. Verily this is not far from the mercy of thy Lord!

"O maid-servant of God!..."

O maid-servant of God!

I ask God to open before thy face the doors of wisdom, to give thee a
drink of the chalice overflowing with the wine of certainty, and to
inspire thee with the mysteries of the Holy Book, so that thou mayest know
the significances of vision and the reality of revelation, and all the
hidden symbols of prophetic Scripture, such as those of Isaiah, Jeremiah
and Ezekiel.

"O thou who art advancing unto God!..."

O thou who art advancing unto God!

Thank God for that He taugh
