[Tablet Translated October 27, 1916]
O thou heavenly daughter!
Thy letter through Mr. Hannen was received from Japan; likewise the
letters of Mr. Fukuta. The contents of both letters imparted exceeding
joy, for each word was an eloquent tongue explaining the wonders of the
Love of God and elucidating the story of the attraction of the heart with
the Breaths of the Holy Spirit.
Praise be to God that thou hast become assisted to promulgate the Word of
God in Japan. Ere long this circle in Japan will be enlarged obtaining
heavenly blessings.
God says in the glorious Qur'an: "A seed, growing out of it seven ears,
and God is able to double this for whomsoever He willeth." This verse
means: Whenever the Word of Truth is proclaimed, it is like unto a seed,
which sown in a pure soil brings forth seven ears and every ear produces
one hundred kernels, and God says again that for whomsoever He desireth,
He will double this number, that is, He will make the seven hundred
kernels fourteen hundred.
Now I hope that thy call in Japan may be like unto that seed, so that it
may obtain heavenly blessing and benediction, and the souls be educated
and taught the oneness and singleness of God, the truthfulness of the
prophets and the usefulness of the Divine Teachings.
An answer is written to the letters of Mr. Fukuta and forwarded. Present
it to him.

thou hast organized a meeting in Japan. Consider thou what a great favor
God hast bestowed that such spiritual meetings are being held in Tokyo and
such heavenly gifts are being distributed.
God says in the Qur'an: "The example of the people of faith is like unto a
field which obtains freshness and verdancy from the rain descending from
the clouds, attaining to full fruition and finding the blessings of the
Kingdom. There is no doubt that day by day it will grow and develop and in
the end the ears of the sheaves will be laden with God's benediction
bringing forth one hundred fold."
Now, ye are the fields of the plain of Reality and are under the
protection of the educative rays of the Sun of Truth. At every moment ye
obtain a new vitality from the rain of divine bestowals and ere long ye
will produce full grown seeds which are b
