rs to be the primary trainers of children and infants. This is a
great and important affair and a high and exalted position, and it is not
allowable to slacken therein at all!

If thou walkest in this right path, thou wouldst become a real mother to
the children, both spiritually and materially. I beg of God to make thee
severed from this world, attracted to the fragrances of sanctity which are
being diffused from the garden of the Kingdom of El-Abha, and a servant of
the Cause of God in the vineyard of God.

earth as stationary, the great stars as small. But the insight correcteth
the mistake of the sight and apprehendeth the reality and seeth that the
mirage is not water, that the images pictured in mirrors are naught else
