signs
of Thy bestowal amongst the people and the standards of Thy grace amongst
mankind. O Lord! Make those who are here the hosts of heaven, and through
their service and instrumentality subdue the hearts of humanity. Cause Thy
great mercy to descend upon them, and render all Thy friends victorious.
Direct them that they may turn toward Thy Kingdom of mercy and proclaim
Thy name among the people. May they lead the people to the bounty of Thy
most great guidance.

O Lord! O Lord! Cast the glance of Thy mercy upon them all.

O Lord! O Lord! Ordain for them the beauty of Thy holiness in Thy Kingdom
of eternity.

O Lord! O Lord! Protect them in every test, make every foot firm in the
pathway of Thy love, and help them to be as mighty mountains in Thy Cause
so that their faith shall not be wavering, their sight shall not be dimmed
nor hindered from witnessing the lights emanating from Thy supreme
Kingdom. Verily, Thou art the Generous. Thou art the Almighty. Verily,
Thou art the Clement, the Merciful.

Notes by Esther Foster

I offer thanks to God for this meeting with you. From the outer standpoint
such meetings are inconceivable, for we are orientals whereas you are
occidentals. Between us there is no patriotic, linguistic, racial,
commercial nor political relation. No worldly bond nor connection of any
kind exists between us that would justify such a gathering as this. The
love of God has brought us together, and this is the best of means and
motive. Every other bond of friendship is limited in effectiveness, but
fellowship based upon the love of God is unlimited, everlasting, divine
and radiant. Therefore, we must be thankful to God for uniting us in love
and agreement, praise Him for creating such affinity between us that those
from the faraway Orient may associate with the beloved ones of the West in
the utmost fragrance.

Surely for everything there is an all-comprehending wisdom, especially for
the great and important affairs of life. The supreme and most important
happening in the human world is the Manifestation of God and the descent
of the law of God. The holy, divine Manifestations did not reveal
themselves for the purpose of founding a nation, sect or faction. They did
not appear in order that a certain number might acknowledge Their
Prophethood. They did not declare Their heavenly mission and message
