e Will of God liveth in manifest error. Amity and rectitude of conduct,
rather than dissension and mischief, are the marks of true faith.
Proclaim unto men what He, Who speaketh the truth and is the Bearer of the
Trust of God, hath bidden thee observe. My glory be with thee, O thou that
callest upon My name, whose eyes are directed towards My court, and whose
tongue uttereth the praise of thy Lord, the Beneficent.
CI: THE PURPOSE UNDERLYING THE REVELATION OF...
The purpose underlying the revelation of every heavenly Book, nay, of
every divinely-revealed verse, is to endue all men with righteousness and
understanding, so that peace and tranquillity may be firmly established
amongst them. Whatsoever instilleth assurance into the hearts of men,
whatsoever exalteth their station or promoteth their contentment, is
acceptable in the sight of God. How lofty is the station which man, if he
but choose to fulfill his high destiny, can attain! To what depths of
degradation he can sink, depths which the meanest of creatures have never
reached! Seize, O friends, the chance which this Day offereth you, and
deprive not yourselves of the liberal effusions of His grace. I beseech
God that He may graciously enable every one of you to adorn himself, in
this blessed Day, with the ornament of pure and holy deeds. He, verily,
doeth whatsoever He willeth.
CII: GIVE A HEARING EAR, O PEOPLE, TO THAT WHICH...
Give a hearing ear, O people, to that which I, in truth, say unto you. The
one true God, exalted be His glory, hath ever regarded, and will continue
to regard, the hearts of men as His own, His exclusive possession. All
else, whether pertaining to land or sea, whether riches or glory, He hath
bequeathed unto the Kings and rulers of the earth. From the beginning that
hath no beginning the ensign proclaiming the words "He doeth whatsoever He
willeth" hath been unfurled in all its splendor before His Manifestation.
What mankind needeth in this day is obedience unto them that are in
authority, and a faithful adherence to the cord of wisdom. The instruments
which are essential to the immediate protection, the security and
assurance of the human race have been entrusted to the hands, and lie in
the grasp, of the governors of human society. This is the wish of God and
His decree.... We cherish the hope that one of the kings of the earth
will, for the sake of God, arise for the triumph of this wronged, this
oppressed peo
