***O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!

Know thou that the heart of Abdul-Baha is overflowing with great love for
thee, and verily he is night and day invoking and beseeching the Kingdom
of God that He may make thee a sign of His mercy among His creatures, a
cause of love and harmony and a means of hinging [or a pivot for] every
good among the people of all regions, and to make thee announce to the
people the opening of the door of the Kingdom. "Verily God will
appropriate His mercy unto whom He pleaseth."

O thou servant of God! Turn thy face thoroughly unto God, so that He may
make thee to show forth the Greatest Gift and make thee to be a source of
those signs which may prove thy proper relationship unto God and the joy
of thy heart, through the fragrances of the Holy Spirit, in every moment

Be thou sure that, verily, thy deceased child is now one of those babes
who are suckled in the Kingdom of Life, under the charge of the Beauty of
El-ABHA. "Verily, God confirmeth whom He wisheth!"

"O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!..."

O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!

Verily I read thy excellent letter which contained thy praises of the
Supreme Lord. Verily I supplicate God to confirm thee in that which He

selfish concerns, to make thee devoted unto Him and resigned unto Him and
to be the means of promoting the divine love amongst the dearly beloved of
God. And I beseech Him to preserve thee from the confirmed tests and great
trials which break backs and perish souls and to make thee a sign of
submissiveness and a standard of meekness, lowliness and humility before
the Kingdom of the Mighty and Omnipotent God.

"O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!..."

O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!

Verily I noted thy writing and was made glad by thy letter. I pray God to
cause thee to attain the bounties of the Kingdom, so that thou mayest
arise for the service of the Cause of God and that of the world of
humanity--and (may God's) blessing descend upon thy honorable wife. Verily
my Lord is kind unto His servants and is the Generous, the Giver of
Bounty!

Know that the return of Christ for a second time doth not mean what the
people believe, but, rather, signifieth the One promised
