eeting for feast for which
thou wert preparing and providing, should recur every so often, so that it
may prove a means of attracting the confirmation of the Kingdom of ABHA.

Inform the maid-servant of God, who prepared her home as a [temporary]
Mashrak-el-Azcar, that this service was accepted in the Kingdom of ABHA.

Inform the near (dear) maid-servant of God [thy wife], who hath organized
a school of industry in order that children may learn an industry and
chant communes, that this is very agreeable.

O thou servant of God! To look after the sick is one of the greatest
duties. Every soul who becomes sick, the other friends should certainly
offer the life (of service) in the utmost kindness.

Thou hast asked regarding the naming of children: When thou wishest to

of guidance for the babe and wish confirmated firmness and constancy; then
give the name and enjoy beverage and sweetmeat. This is spiritual baptism.

His honor, Mr. ......, Mrs. ...... and ...... arrived. They were attracted
by the fragrances of God and ignited by the fire of the love of God. With
a new spirit and fresh life they returned.

O son of the Kingdom! Thy services in the Kingdom of ABHA are evident,
well known and accepted. Indeed thou art a truthful servant of the Holy
Threshold and a firm caller to the divine Kingdom.

Strive so that the odor of violation cease and all come under the
protection of the Covenant.

Remain in and about that town and know that trial is the cause of
promotion. But thou must deal with all in the utmost love and do kindness.
Although they lift up the head of pride, show thou greater humility and
meekness and treat them with the utmost submission and lowliness.

Show the utmost kindness in my behalf to the near maid-servant of God (thy
wife).***

O thou attracted maid-servant of God!

This is a blessed address. If thou fulfill its requirements, which are
purity of intention, attractive love, insight, discovery of truth and
absolute spiritual attitude, thou wilt become entirely free from the
physical conditions and wilt soar to the spiritual realms.

"O servant of God!..."

O servant of God!

The content of thy letter was replete with spiritual feelings and was a
source of pleasure and of joy.
