ted and cemented. The Blessed Perfection hath appeared for the sole
purpose of the unification and solidarity of the people of the world, so
that all of them may enter under the shade of one tree, sing one melody in
one rose-garden and adorn the universe with love and oneness.

Every meeting which is organized for the purpose of unity and concord will
be conducive to changing strangers into friends, enemies into associated,
and Abdul-Baha will be present in his heart and soul with that meeting.

I entreat from God that the believers may at all times strive to bring
about union and harmony, in order that this power of unity may display an
effect in this world; each country become illuminated, the darkness of
foreignness be dispelled gradually and the light of unanimity dawn and
shed its rays to all parts.

"O thou heavenly one!..."

O thou heavenly one!

Organize ye spiritual assemblies; lay ye the foundation of union and
concord in this world; destroy ye the fabric of strife and war from the
face of the earth; construct ye the temple of harmony and agreement;
enkindle ye the light of the realm of the oneness of humanity; open ye
your eyes; gaze and behold ye the other world! The Kingdom of peace,
salvation, uprightness and reconciliation is founded in the Invisible
World, and it will by degrees become manifest and apparent through the
power of the Word of God!

I supplicate God that ye may become the army of that Kingdom, in order
that by the power of the Most Great Name, the friends of God may conquer
this world through love, friendship and the strength of the Kingdom of
peace; the human race become compassionate, and bloodshed and carnage be
completely effaced from the universe.

The Spirit of truth is soaring on the Supreme Apex, like unto a bird, in
order that it may discover a severed heart and alight therein and make its
nest.

I hope that all the friends become manifestors of knowledge and the
centers of merciful feelings. Each of them become like unto an angel and
radiate heavenly deeds, thoughts and actions.

"O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom!..."

O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom!

Thy letter contained meanings full of sweetness. I therefore took it in my
hand with the utmost love and became informed of thy desire.

O thou maid-servant of God! Glad-tidings be unto thee! As thou art
faithful and art going to remain firm, the favors of the Bounty of Abha
will encircle
