ld of the Kingdom of God!

Thy letter was received. A thousand times bravo to thy magnanimity and
exalted aim! Trusting in God and while turning thy face toward the Kingdom
of Abha, unfurl thou the divine Flag in Tokyo and cry at the top of thy
voice: "O ye people. The Sun of Reality hath appeared and flooded all
regions with its glorious light; it has upraised the Standard of Oneness
of the world of humanity and summoned all mankind to the refulgent Truth.
The cloud of Mercy is pouring, the zephyr of Providence is wafting and the
world of humanity is being stirred and moved. The Divine Spirit is
conferring eternal life, the heavenly lights are illumining the hearts,
the table of the sustenance of the Kingdom is spread and adorned with all
kinds of foods and victuals. O ye concourses of men! Awake! Awake! Become
mindful! Become mindful! Open ye the seeing eye! Unstop the hearing ear!
Hark! Hark! The soft notes of the Heavenly Music are streaming down,
ravishing the ears of the people of spiritual discernment. Ere long this
transcendent Light will wholly enlighten the East and West!"

In short, with a resounding voice, with a miraculous power, and with the
magnetism of the Love of God, teach thou the Cause of God and rest assured
that the Holy Spirit shall confirm thee.

(Translated by Ahmad Sohrab, Haifa, August 12, 1914)

[Tablet of 1919]

On August 8, 1915 'Abdu'l-Baha's secretary wrote: "Your beautiful petition
... was read to the Beloved ... as He was walking to and fro in the parlor
of the Pilgrim House. His face beamed with a heavenly smile as he heard
your name. He said: 'Write to Dr. Augur to return to Japan as soon as the
first opportunity offers itself to him. Great blessings will descend upon
the soul who teaches the Cause in that country. Its people are endowed
with great capability. Should five or six of them be thoroughly grounded
in the teachings of this Cause and attracted with its fire, great results
will be forthcoming.'"

O ye the two doves nestling in the garden of the Love of God!

Your detailed letter was received. Your services at this spot are
