f the bounties of
His sanctity--that ye may become the tokens of unity, the standards of
singleness, and seek out the meaning of oneness; that ye may, in this
garden of God, lift up your voices and sing the blissful anthems of the
spirit. Become ye as the birds who offer Him their thanks, and in the
blossoming bowers of life chant ye such melodies as will dazzle the minds
of those who know. Raise ye a banner on the highest peaks of the world, a
flag of God's favour to ripple and wave in the winds of His grace; plant
ye a tree in the field of life, amid the roses of this visible world, that
will yield a fruitage fresh and sweet.

I swear by the true Teacher that if ye will act in accord with the
admonitions of God, as revealed in His luminous Tablets, this darksome
dust will mirror forth the Kingdom of heaven, and this nether world the
realm of the All-Glorious.

O ye loved ones of the Lord! Praise be to Him, the unseen, welling
bounties of the Sun of Truth encompass you on every side, and from every
direction the portals of His mercy stand ajar. Now is the time to take
advantage of these bestowals, and benefit therefrom. Know ye the value of
this time, let not this chance escape you. Stay ye entirely clear of this
dark world's concerns, and become ye known by the attributes of those
essences that make their home in the Kingdom. Then shall ye see how
intense is the glory of the heavenly Day-Star, and how blinding bright are
the tokens of bounty coming out of the invisible realm.

down from on high in the form of a maid of heaven, veiled, beauteous, and
unique, and prepared for reunion with her lovers on earth. The angelic
company of the Celestial Concourse hath joined in a call that hath run
throughout the universe, all loudly and mightily acclaiming: 'This is the
City of God and His abode, wherein shall dwell the pure and holy among His
servants. He shall live with them, for they are His people and He is their
Lord.'

He hath wiped away their tears, kindled their light, rejoiced their hearts
and enraptured their souls. Death shall no more overtake them neither
shall sorrow, weeping or tribulation afflict them. The Lord God Omnipotent
hath been enthroned in His Kingdom and hath made all things new. Thi
