94: O HANDMAIDS OF THE BEAUTY OF ABHA! YOUR LETTER ...

O handmaids of the beauty of Abha! Your letter hath come, and its perusal
brought great joy. Praised be God, the women believers have organized
meetings where they will learn how to teach the Faith, will spread the
sweet savours of the Teachings and make plans for training the children.

This gathering must be completely spiritual. That is, the discussions must

Truth hath indeed arisen. And further, those present should concern

the various branches of knowledge, good behaviour, a proper way of life,
the cultivation of a good character, chastity and constancy, perseverance,

the education of children, and whatever especially applieth to the needs
of girls--to the end that these girls, reared in the stronghold of all
perfections, and with the protection of a goodly character, will, when
they themselves become mothers, bring up their children from earliest
infancy to have a good character and conduct themselves well.

Let them also study whatever will nurture the health of the body and its
physical soundness, and how to guard their children from disease.

When matters are thus well arranged, every child will become a peerless
plant in the gardens of the Abha Paradise.

have surpassed the others, have arisen to serve the Holy Threshold, and
have won heavenly bestowals. Now with all spiritual zeal must ye gather in
that enlightened assemblage and recite the Holy Writings and engage in
remembering the Lord. Set ye forth His arguments and proofs. Work ye for
the guidance of the women in that land, teach the young girls and the
children, so that the mothers may educate their little ones from their
earliest days, thoroughly train them, rear them to have a goodly character
and good morals, guide them to all the virtues of humankind, prevent the
development of any behaviour that would be worthy of blame, and foster
them in the embrace of Baha'i education. Thus shall these tender infants
be nurtured at
