speechless and silent. Undoubtedly the confirmation of the Holy Spirit
will descend upon thee."

Announce, on my behalf, respectful greeting to the attracted maid-servant
of God, Miss ........, and say: "O thou beloved maid-servant of God! Now

and wide to the ears the glad-tidings of the Realm of Eternity!"

thou mayest be delivered wholly from passion and desire and become the
faithful and sincere servant of the Beauty of Abha.

verses, glorifications and praises of the Self-subsistent Lord and deliver
eloquent speeches. The owner of the house must personally serve the
beloved ones. He must seek after the comfort of all and with the utmost
humility he must show forth kindness to every one. If the Feast is
