...... who
guided thee, led thee to the Kingdom of Glory and invited thee to the
heavenly table, so that thou mayest attain eternal life and enjoy the
happiness of the Kingdom.
Thou didst write: "How can I serve Thee?" The greatest service is thine
own firmness and steadfastness and thy withstanding severe trials when
they come. Through firmness thou wilt perceive the opening of the doors of
grace.
"O thou plant in the garden of the Love of God!..."
O thou plant in the garden of the Love of God!
Open the tongue of praise to the Horizon of ABHA, for having received
light from Him in the age of youth, and for having been planted by Him in
the paradise of glory.
I hope thou shalt be a child of the Kingdom, shalt learn sciences, arts
and significances, may become a full grown tree, fruitful and green in the
vineyard of God and be happy and full of cheer through the showers of the
clouds of paradise.
"O maid-servant of God!..."
O maid-servant of God!
I rejoiced to read thy letter, for it indicated thy progress unto the
Kingdom of thy Glorious Lord, thy wish to serve in His vineyard and thy
faith in this Cause which has shed its light upon those regions.
Blessed art thou for having opened the door of thy home unto the people to
come and hear of the Kingdom.
The maid-servant of God remembered thee in her letter, mentioning thy
great joy and progress in the Cause of thy Lord.
Verily, I pray God to make thy home a center for the radiation of light
and the glowing of His love in the hearts of His people. Know that in
every home where God is praised and prayed to, and His Kingdom proclaimed,
that home is a garden of God and a paradise of His happiness.
"O Spiritual Assembly !..."
O Spiritual Assembly(46) !
Everything produces an impression in existence and results in the course
of ages. The (earthly) assemblies established in the different parts of
Europe, Asia and America have no results save the help of the physical and
the mortal life in this lesser world, for the removal of its conditions
and reformation of its customs, and in the end no name will remain
thereof. But every spiritual assembly of solid foundation, good structure
and unwavering constancy will last forever and will send forth its
illumination unto all regions.
Observe the gatherings of the disciples after Christ: Their light is still
shining, their power is still revealing and their trumpets still
resoundi
