ing incessantly from the heights of heaven, the
abundance of the Kingdom of El-Abha outpouring continually and the
teachings of God penetrating with the utmost power, while the heedless are
indeed in evident loss.

"O ye esteemed maid-servants of God, and ye revered..."

O ye(208) esteemed maid-servants of God, and ye revered beloved ones (or
men believers) of the Merciful!

Your letter was received and its contents noted. The maid-servant of God,
she who hath ascended to heaven, i.e., Mrs. ........, hastened from this
mortal world to the divine world and soared from this temporal realm to
the expanse of the Kingdom. She abandoned the earthly cage and flew toward
the bower of the upper world; so that, like unto a nightingale of
significances, she may, in that divine rose-garden, engage in praising,
glorifying and sanctifying the True One, with the most marvelous melody.

Consequently, do ye not sigh in grief of her decease, and be not dejected
on account of her ascension.

To the people of adoration, death is an ark of deliverance, and to pure
souls, flight from this world of dust is the means of attaining the
Kingdom of Spheres. By "Spheres" is not meant this infinite space, nay, is
meant the divine world, and the invisible realm.

To be brief: I hope her noble son may seek the Path wherein his mother
walked, and may become better and more illustrious; nay, rather, the
lights of his love may also take effect in his grand parents.

As to ye who are friends of that bird of the meadow of guidance, ye must,
after her, have such unison, love, association and unity that it may make
things better and more favorable than they were during her days.

Praise be to God! the divine bounty favors all of you, he doors of gifts
are open before the faces of you all, and the radiance of the Sun of Truth
is shining upon you all. Capacity, worth (or merit) and ability, are
necessary, for the clearer and purer the mirror is, the lights of the Sun
are more manifest thereon.

We are always gazing toward those parts in order to find from what corner
(or place) the voice will be raised! We hope Baltimore will become an
assemblage of light and that city may become a mirror of the love of God!

"O ye my dear friends!..."

O ye(209) my dear friends!

Your letter was received and its contents were wonderful and beautiful for
it evinced the spreading of the light of Guidance. Praise be to God! the
lights of the Morn of
