decided to put him to death, they sent and
fetched his mother, that perchance she might admonish him, and induce him
to recant his faith, and follow in the footsteps of them that have
repudiated the truth of God, the Lord of all worlds.

No sooner did she behold the face of her son, than she spoke to him such
words as caused the hearts of the lovers of God, and beyond them those of
the Concourse on high, to cry out and be sore pained with grief. Truly,
thy Lord knoweth what My tongue speaketh. He Himself beareth witness to My
words.

And when addressing him she said: "My son, mine own son! Fail not to offer

celestial chambers, and beyond them the inmates of My Paradise, and the
denizens of the Cities of Holiness. Were any eye to gaze on his face, he
would exclaim: "Lo, this is no other than a noble angel!"

Take heed that ye do not vacillate in your determination to embrace the
truth of this Cause--a Cause through which the potentialities of the might

beaming with joy, hasten ye unto Him. This is the changeless Faith of God,
eternal in the past, eternal in the future. Let him that seeketh, attain
