ristian, but the real Christian is very rare:
he is that soul from whose comely face there shineth the splendour of
Christ, and who showeth forth the perfections of the Kingdom; this is a
matter of great moment, for to be a Christian is to embody every
excellence there is. I hope that thou, too, shalt become a true Christian.
Praise thou God that at last, through the divine teachings, thou hast
obtained both sight and insight to the highest degree, and hast become
firmly rooted in certitude and faith. It is my hope that others as well
will achieve illumined eyes and hearing ears, and attain to everlasting
life: that these many rivers, each flowing along in diverse and separated

superiority; he should speak with the utmost kindliness, lowliness and
humility, for such speech exerteth influence and educateth the souls.

Baha'u'llah raise up the call of the Lord: that the world of man should
become the world of God, this nether realm the Kingdom, this darkness

unity should reappear and the bases of discord be destroyed and life
everlasting and grace everlasting become the harvest of mankind.

O honoured lady! Look about thee at the world: here unity, mutual
attraction, gathering together, engender life,
