y Rose-Garden, be confirmed by the breath of the
Holy Spirit and assisted by the Hosts of the Supreme Concourse. By deeds
and words awaken thou the unaware souls and confer upon them the spirit of
Life.

[Tablet of November 5, 1921]

The following Tablet was addressed to the "new friends in Korea", fifteen
names being mentioned in addition to Miss Alexander's: Sang Sun Oh, U.U.
Cuan, Kinng S. Ko, Chy Rin, Inki Hong, Pyung C. Lee, Soon Y. Lee, Wen H.
Ma, Young N. Pyeur, Chan Young Kim, Z.Y. Roe, S. Wo Kloon, S.Y. Zee, Ze
Kyung Sang, S.T. Suh. O ye heavenly sons!

Your heartfelt and sincere greetings have reached 'Abdu'l-Baha's ears and
your message gave great spiritual pleasure.

Praise be to God, that celestial light guided and led you to the Sun of
Reality, bestowed everlasting life and granted heavenly illumination. Ye
are like seedlings which have been planted by the hand of Bestowal in His
Spiritual Rose-Garden. It is my hope that through the warmth of the Sun of
Reality, the pouring down of the showers of mercy and the wafting of the
breezes of bestowal, ye may progress day by day, so that each one may
become a blessed tree, full of leaves and flowers and throw your shade
over great multitudes.

The Graces of the Kingdom of Abha are the rays of the Sun of Reality. It
illumines the earth and heaven, makes the star a shining moon, turns the
speck into a huge mountain, bestows strength to the weak, gives
everlasting healing to the sick, grants heavenly treasures to the poor,
confirms the oppressed ones to everlasting glory and turns the people of
darkness to those of light.

O heavenly friends, the doors of heaven have been opened, the lights of
God have shone forth and the heavenly Call has been raised. Summon ye all
humanity to listen to this Heavenly Call and invite them to the Celestial
World, so that they may find a new spirit and attain to a new life. In all
conditions my heart and spirit are with you.
