the heart of each single member of that united assembly.

You have written that your number is small; but it is decidedly true that
it is not numbers that count, it is, rather, the sincerity and devotion of
the hearts. It is the heart that, subduing within itself all earthly

world.... As to your not being present in the Holy Land on the occasion of
the anniversary of His Passing, nor able to take part with these bereaved
ones in our mourning for the setting of the Sun of the Covenant: be
assured that in that dread hour, that calamitous time, the souls of the
people of Baha were, one and all, circumambulating His resplendent
resting-place, and the lamentation and wailing of this faithful band were
continually rising up to the heavenly Throne. And that immaculate Spirit
must have gazed down upon them from the realms on high, and bestowed upon
them all His grace, and grieved over the grieving of them all, and
consoled and soothed them all, and supplicated, even as He now
supplicates, His Supreme Companion to grant unto ev
