ith the name, BAHIA, there is no doubt
that it has been through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

8 Consequently, the believers of God must display the utmost effort,
upraise the divine melody throughout those regions, promulgate the
heavenly teachings and waft over all the spirit of eternal life, so that
those republics may become so illumined with the splendors and the
effulgences of the Sun of Reality that they may become the objects of the
praise and commendation of all other countries. Likewise, ye must give
great attention to the Republic of Panama, for in that point the Occident
and the Orient find each other united through the Panama Canal, and it is
also situated between the two great oceans. That place will become very
important in the future. The teachings, once established there, will unite
the East and the West, the North and the South.

9 Hence the intention must be purified, the effort ennobled and exalted,
so that you may establish affinity between the hearts of the world of
humanity. This glorious aim will not become realized save through the
promotion of divine teachings which are the foundations of the holy
religions.

10 Consider how the religions of God served the world of humanity! How the
religion of Torah became conducive to the glory and honor and progress of
the Israelitish nation! How the breaths of the Holy Spirit of His Holiness
Christ created affinity and unity between divergent communities and
quarreling families! How the sacred power of His Holiness Muhammad became
the means of uniting and harmonizing the contentious tribes and the
different clans of Peninsular Arabia--to such an extent that one thousand
tribes were welded into one tribe; strife and discord were done away with;
all of them unitedly and with one accord strove in advancing the cause of
culture and civilization, and thus were freed from the lowest degree of
degradation, soaring toward the height of everlasting glory! Is it
possible to find a greater Collective Center in the phenomenal world than
this? In comparison to this divine Collective Center, the national
collective center, the patriotic collective center, the political
collective center and the cultural and intellectual collective center are
like child's play!

11 Now strive ye that the Collective Center of the sacred religions--for
the inculcation of which all the Prophets were manifested and which is no
other than the spirit of the divine teachings--be spread
