the heavenly bestowals and a share of the Most Great Guidance. Likewise in
the provinces of Canada, such as Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta,
British Columbia, Ungava, Keewatin, Mackenzie, Yukon, and the Franklin
Islands in the Arctic Circle--the believers of God must become
self-sacrificing and like unto the candles of guidance become ignited in
the provinces of Canada. Should they show forth such a magnanimity, it is
assured that they will obtain universal divine confirmations, the heavenly
cohorts will reinforce them uninterruptedly, and a most great victory will
be obtained. God willing, the call of the Kingdom may reach the ears of
the Eskimos, the inhabitants of the Islands of Franklin in the north of
Canada, as well as Greenland. Should the fire of the love of God be
kindled in Greenland, all the ice of that country will be melted, and its
cold weather become temperate--that is, if the hearts be touched with the
heat of the love of God, that territory will become a divine rose garden
and a heavenly paradise, and the souls, even as fruitful trees, will
acquire the utmost freshness and beauty. Effort, the utmost effort, is
required. Should you display an effort, so that the fragrances of God may
be diffused among the Eskimos, its effect will be very great and
far-reaching. God says in the great Qur'an: A day will come wherein the
lights of unity will enlighten all the world. "The earth will be
irradiated with the light of its Lord."(9) In other words, the earth will
become illumined with the light of God. That light is the light of unity.
"There is no God but God." The continent and the islands of Eskimos are
also parts of this earth. They must similarly receive a portion of the
bestowals of the Most Great Guidance.
3 Upon you be greeting and praise!

O ye blessed souls:

confirmation for each one in the divine world. My hope for you is that

the world and in this Garden of God become a blessed tree, producing
everlasting fruits and results
