us, try in turn to follow her saintly path and direct all our energy to
serve the Cause which has been so dear to her.

He was deeply touched by the strong attachment of the friends to one who,
besides being the beloved daughter of Baha'u'llah, exemplified perhaps
more than any one the true spirit that animates His Teachings. His (the
Guardian's) sincere hope is that your love for our departed Greatest Holy
Leaf will attain such depth and intensity as to enable you to follow in

all in such a great need.

independent prophet of God, you have to consider His Dispensation as
having begun in 622 A.D. The Christian Dispensation must, therefore, end
in 622 A.D. and from that date till 1844 is the era of Mu?ammad. 1260 is
the calculation based on the lunar system. In other words, it is the
Hegira year or A.H. You should either specify this fact, or base your
calculation on the solar year, in which case it
