these degrees.

16 Likewise, whenever it is possible a committee must be organized for the
translation of the Tablets. Wise souls who have mastered and studied
perfectly the Persian, Arabic, and other foreign languages, or know one of
the foreign languages, must commence translating Tablets and books
containing the proofs of this Revelation, and publishing those books,
circulate them throughout the five continents of the globe.

17 Similarly, the magazine, the Star of the West, must be edited with the
utmost regularity, but its contents must be the promulgation of the Cause
of God that both East and West may become informed of the most important
events.

18 In short, in all the meetings, whether public or private, nothing
should be discussed save that which is under consideration, and all the
articles be centered around the Cause of God. Promiscuous talk must not be
dragged in and contention is absolutely forbidden.

19 The teachers traveling in different directions must know the language
of the country in which they will enter. For example, a person being
proficient in the Japanese language may travel to Japan, or a person
knowing the Chinese language may hasten to China, and so forth.

20 In short, after this universal war, the people have obtained
extraordinary capacity to hearken to the divine teachings, for the wisdom
of this war is this: That it may become proven to all that the fire of war
is world-consuming, whereas the rays of peace are world-enlightening. One
is death, the other is life; this is extinction, that is immortality; one
is the most great calamity, the other is the most great bounty; this is
darkness, that is light; this is eternal humiliation and that is
everlasting glory; one is the destroyer of the foundation of man, the
other is the founder of the prosperity of the human race.

21 Consequently, a number of souls may arise and act in accordance with
the aforesaid conditions, and hasten to all parts of the world, especially
from America to Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, and travel through
Japan and China. Likewise, from Germany teachers and believers may travel
to the continents of America, Africa, Japan and China; in brief, they may
travel through all the continents and islands of the globe. Thus in a
short space of time, most wonderful results will be produced, the banner
of universal peace will be waving on the apex of the world and the lights
of the oneness of the world of humanity m
