darkness. One blessed soul from among the disciples of Christ hastened to
that part, and through his effort, erelong that province became illumined.
Thus it has become evident how the power of the Kingdom works!

10 Therefore, rest ye assured in the confirmations of the Merciful and the
assistance of the Most High; become ye sanctified above and purified from
this world and the inhabitants thereof; suffer your intentions to work for
the good of all; cut your attachment to the earth and like unto the
essence of the spirit become ye light and delicate. Then with a firm
resolution, a pure heart, a rejoiced spirit, and an eloquent tongue,
engage your time in the promulgation of the divine principles so that the
oneness of the world of humanity may pitch her canopy in the apex of
America and all the nations of the world may follow the divine policy.
This is certain, that the divine policy is justice and kindness toward all
mankind. For all the nations of the world are the sheep of God, and God is
the kind shepherd. He has created these sheep. He has protected them,
sustained and trained them. What greater kindness than this? And every
moment we must render a hundred thousand thanksgivings that, praise be to
God, we are freed from all the ignorant prejudices, are kind to all the
sheep of God, and our utmost hope is to serve each and all, and like unto
a benevolent father educate every one.

11 Upon you be greeting and praise!

Every soul who travels through the cities, villages and hamlets of these
states and is engaged in the diffusion of the fragrances of God, should
peruse this commune every morning:

O MY God! O my God! Thou seest me in my lowliness and weakness, occupied
with the greatest undertaking, determined to raise Thy word among the
masses and to spread Thy teachings among Thy peoples. How can I succeed
unless Thou assist me with the breath of the Holy Spirit, help me to
triumph by the hosts of Thy glorious kingdom, and shower upon me Thy
confirmations, which alone can change a gnat into an eagle, a drop of
water into rivers and seas, and an atom into lights and suns? O my Lord!
Assist me with Thy triumphant and effective might, so that my tongue may
utter Thy praises and attributes among all people and my soul overflow
with the wine of Thy love and knowledge.

Thou art the Omnipotent and the Doer of whatsoever Thou willest.
