mote it. Whoso is unable, it is his duty to appoint
him who will, in his stead, proclaim this Revelation, whose power hath
caused the foundations of the mightiest structures to quake, every
mountain to be crushed into dust, and every soul to be dumbfounded. Should
the greatness of this Day be revealed in its fullness, every man would
forsake a myriad lives in his longing to partake, though it be for one
moment, of its great glory--how much more this world and its corruptible
treasures!
Be ye guided by wisdom in all your doings, and cleave ye tenaciously unto
it. Please God ye may all be strengthened to carry out that which is the
Will of God, and may be graciously assisted to appreciate the rank

in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and the glory of the inmates
of the most exalted Paradise, the heaven of heavens.

while the measure of its weight should be tested according to its own
standard, did ye but know it.
