lect, and arise in service with
the utmost firmness, steadfastness and self-sacrifice. In their journeys
they must not be attached to food and clothing. They must concentrate
their thoughts on the outpourings of the Kingdom of God and beg for the
confirmations of the Holy Spirit. With a divine power, with an attraction
of consciousness, with heavenly glad tidings and celestial holiness they
must perfume the nostrils with the fragrances of the Paradise of Abha.

The following commune is to be read by them every day:

O GOD! O God! This is a broken-winged bird and his flight is very
slow--assist him so that he may fly toward the apex of prosperity and
salvation, wing his way with the utmost joy and happiness throughout the
illimitable space, raise his melody in Thy Supreme Name in all the
regions, exhilarate the ears with this call, and brighten the eyes by
beholding the signs of guidance.

O Lord! I am single, alone and lowly. For me there is no support save
Thee, no helper except Thee and no sustainer beside Thee. Confirm me in
Thy service, assist me with the cohorts of Thine angels, make me
victorious in the promotion of Thy Word and suffer me to speak out Thy
wisdom amongst Thy creatures. Verily, Thou art the helper of the weak and
the defender of the little ones, and verily Thou art the Powerful, the
Mighty and the Unconstrained.

_He is God!_

O ye kind friends and the maidservants of the Merciful:

2 In the great Qur'an, God says: "Thou shalt see no difference in the
creatures of God."(20) In other words, He says: From the ideal standpoint,
there is no variation between the creatures of God, because they are all
created by Him. From the above premise, a conclusion is drawn, that there
is no difference between countries. The future of the Dominion of Canada,
however, is very great, and the events connected with it infinitely
glorious. It shall become the object of the glance of providence, and
shall show forth the bounties of the All-Glorious.
