ye peoples of the
earth! Turn yourselves towards Him Who hath turned towards you. He,
verily, is the Face of God amongst you, and His Testimony and His Guide
unto you. He hath come to you with signs which none can produce.' The
voice of the Burning Bush is raised in the midmost heart of the world, and
the Holy Spirit calleth aloud among the nations: 'Lo, the Desired One is
come with manifest dominion!'

O King! The stars of the heaven of knowledge have fallen, they who seek to
establish the truth of My Cause through the things they possess, and who
make mention of God in My Name. And yet, when I came unto them in My
