gnized Thee, and
set their hearts towards the horizon of Thy Cause. Thou art truly the Lord
of the worlds and of those who show mercy the Most Merciful. Assist me,
then, O my God, to remember Thee amongst Thy handmaidens, and to aid Thy
Cause in Thy lands. Accept, then, that which hath escaped me when the
light of Thy countenance shone forth. Thou, indeed, hast power over all
things. Glory be to Thee, O Thou in Whose hand is the kingdom of the
heavens and of the earth.

KAISER WILHELM I

O KING of Berlin! Give ear unto the Voice calling from this manifest
Temple: Verily, there is none other God but Me, the Everlasting, the
Peerless, the Ancient of Days. Take heed lest pride debar thee from
recognizing the Dayspring of Divine Revelation, lest earthly desires shut

cities and ruled over men. The All-Merciful brought them down from their
palaces to their graves. Be warned, be of them who reflect... O banks of
the Rhine! We have seen you covered with gore, inasmuch as the swords of
retribution were drawn against you; and you shall have another turn. And
We hear the lamentations of Berlin, though she be today in conspicuous
glory.

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH

O EMPEROR of Austria! He who is the Dayspring of God's Light dwelt in the
prison of Akka, at the time when thou didst set forth to visit the Aqsa
Mosque (Jerusalem). Thou passed Him by, and inquired not about Him, by
Whom every house is exalted, and every lofty gate unlocked. We, verily,
made it (Jerusalem) a place whereunto the world should turn, that they
might remember Me, and yet thou hast rejected Him Who is the Object of
this remembrance, when He appeared with the Kingdom of God, thy Lord and
the Lord of the worlds. We have been with thee at al
