th fire, it will not ignite; and
until a light dawn, the darkness will not vanish. Therefore, the beloved
of God must sow the seeds and plant the fresh plants in that garden. They
must ignite the extinguished candles so that the purpose may be attained
and the beloved intent unveil its face.

In the spirit of humility and supplication do I beg and implore at the
Divine Threshold and seek for you assistance and providence.

"O thou near servant to the Threshold of God!..."

O thou near servant to the Threshold of God!

Thy letter was received and thy desire became known. Thou wishest to serve
the Threshold of God. I wish for thee the same. Therefore, copy the
Tablets and spread them among the beloved. The meanings of those leaves
are the spiritual table, the heavenly blessing and the means for the life
eternal.

Thou hast written concerning the organization of a council for the
building of the Mashrak-el-Azcar. This news brought much spirit and
fragrance, for the nine delegates, sent by the various assemblies,
gathered in that meeting and consulted concerning the building of the
Mashrak-el-Azcar.

The Mashrak-el-Azcar is the most important matter and the greatest divine
institute. Consider how the first institute of His Holiness Moses, after
His exodus from Egypt, was the "Tent of Martyrdom" which He raised and
which was the traveling Temple. It was a tent which they pitched in the
desert, wherever they aobde, and worshipped in it. Likewise, after His
Holiness Christ--may the spirit of the world be a sacrifice to Him! --the
first institute by the disciples was a Temple. They planned a church in
every country. Consider the Gospel (read it) and the importance of the
Mashrak-el-Azcar will become evident.

In fine, I hope that all the beloved of God, collectively, in the
continent of America, men and women, will strive night and day until the
Mashrak-el-Azcar be erected in the utmost solidity and beauty.

"O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom!..."

O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom!

Thy likeness (photograph) was seen. The Sun of the Kingdom hath shed a
light on thee, so thy likeness is made radiant and thy face happy.

Beneath the photograph the word "faithfully" was inscribed which indicated
that thine heart is attracted to faithfulness and that thou seekest
faithfulness. No attribute is more commmendable than faithfulness. It is
of the greatest of the virtues in the world of humanity.
