at(214) must be translated and
published (and spread) among the friends.

But, whatever writings and articles which the believers may write for the
spread of the Cause of God, these they must necessarily send to the Holy
Land, in order to be corrected and rectified (or approved of) and then to
be returned to them and then published. Before their being corrected here
and before securing permission from here, their publication is by no means
allowable.

As to the obligatory prayer (to be said three times a day): Each one must
say his prayer alone by himself, and this is not conditional on a private
place; that is, both at home and in the worshipping-place, which is a
gathering-place, it is allowable for one to say his prayer; but each
person must say his prayer by himself (i.e., not in company with others
who might recite the same words and continue the same postures together at
the same time). But if they chant supplications (communes, etc.) together
(and in company), in a good and effective voice, that is very good.

"O God!..."

(215) O God!

Grant Washington happiness and peace! Illuminate that land with the light
of the faces of the friends, make it a paradise of Glory, let it become an
envy of the green gardens of the earth! Help the friends, increase their
number, make their hearts sources of inspiration and their souls dawnings
of light. Thus may that city become a beautiful paradise and fragrant with
the fragrance of musk.

"O God!..."

(216) O God!

Make this youth illumined and this weak one strong! Bestow upon him
knowledge and give unto him an added strength at every dawn. Thus may he
be protected and sheltered in Thy protection from every sin to serve Thy
Cause, to guide those who are led astray, to lead those who are poor (or
weak), to free those who are in captivity (or bondage), to awaken those
who are in lethargy and to be happy with Thy remembrance and thought. Thou
art the Powerful, the Wise!

"O thou who art firm in the Covenant!..."

O thou who art firm in the Covenant!

The short treatise which thou has written upon "Service in the Kingdom,"
forwarding it here and asking permission for its publication, was read.
Spread it among the believers.

Likewise, correspondence with all the believers in all parts is very
desirable.

The copy of the pamphlet that thou hast sent before, God willing, in
opportune time will be read and forwarded to thee.

O thou who art
