n authorities to these persecutions, and awaken that
government to the possibility of divine retribution and to the shameful
stigma occasioned by such actions directed against this innocent community
by the heedless and ignorant amongst the mass of the people.

and disbelief at the savage acts now being perpetrated against their
brothers, and are eagerly waiting to hear that the government has come to
the rescue of this unique, this law-abiding people, who are the
well-wishers of mankind, from the attacks of the ravening wolves.

I pray for you continually at the Holy Threshold, and call upon Him on

blessings of the Kingdom.

Upon you, men and women alike, be the Glory of the All-Glorious.

devoted friend, every firm and enkindled believer enraptured by His love,
to drink this healing remedy at one draught, so that the agony of
bereavement may be somewhat alleviated and the bitter anguish of
separation dissipated. This calls for efforts to serve the Cause, to
