This separation is temporal;
this remoteness and sorrow is counted only by days. Thou shalt find him in
the Kingdom of God and thou wilt attain to the everlasting union. Physical
companionship is ephemeral, but heavenly association is eternal. Whenever
thou rememberest the eternal and never ending union, thou wilt be
comforted and blissful.

"O dear servant of God!..."

O dear servant of God!

Thy letter hath arrived and the contents have given glad-tidings that the
ground for the Temple hath been bought and also told about the meeting
which was held concerning the needs for the Temple. From this news great
fragrance and joy were produced. Thanks be to God that thou wast helped to
establish a meeting for this purpose. I hope that the members of this
meeting will become the receivers of the divine benevolence and be aided
by the heavenly assistances. But consult with the House of Spirituality of
Chicago. Ye must all be perfectly united and harmonious until, through
this harmony, ye may perpetually receive help from the Kingdom of God.

Concerning the members of this spiritual meeting, you suggested that they
be selected from all the spiritual meetings of the other cities of
America. I quite approve and am very much pleased with this plan. This
will become the cause of harmony in the Word in all America. Therefore,
ask every spiritual meeting in the other cities that they will each select
one and send him, and from these selected ones and with those who are
selected from the Chicago meetings, establish a new meeting for the
provision of the needs of the Temple. If this be established with perfect
fragrance and joy, it will produce great results. In this new meeting,
especially for the establishment of the Temple, ladies are also to be
members.

Give to all the divine friends the glad-tidings of the boundless heavenly
blessings and tell them that the glances of the eyes of Providence are
upon them and the perfect favor and bounty are descending upon them.

"O thou dear maid-servant of God!..."

O thou dear maid-servant of God!

Thy letter, concerning the celebration of the anniversary of the
declaration of His Holiness the Supreme(60)--may my spirit be sacrificed
for Him!--which was held on the land of the Mashrak-el-Azcar(61), was read.

The utmost joy was attained, for--praise be to God! --the friends of the
Merciful passed some time on that day joyous and singing in the land of
the Mashrak-el-
