ese significant
passages(58) which I have gleaned from various Tablets revealed in her
honour by Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha.

Impregnated with that love after which the soul of a humanity in travail
now hungers, these passages disclose, to the extent that our finite minds
can comprehend, the nature of that mystic bond which, on one hand, united
her with the Spirit of her almighty Father and, on the other, linked her
so closely with her glorious Brother, the perfect Exemplar of that Spirit.

The memory of her who was a pattern of goodness, of a pure and holy life,
who was the embodiment of such heavenly virtues as only the privileged
inmates of the uppermost chambers in the Abha Paradise can fully
appreciate, will long live enshrined in these immortal words--a memory the
ennobling influence of which will remain an inspiration and a solace amid
the wreckage of a sadly shaken world.

Conscious of the predominating share assumed, in recent years, by the
American believers in alleviating the burden which that most exalted Leaf

Faith and of the Centre of His Covenant. I feel confident that their
elected representatives will take whatever measures are required for their
prompt and wide circulation among their brethren throughout the West. They
will, thereby, be contributing still further to the repayment of the great
debt they owe her in the prosecution of a mighty and divinely-appointed
task.

that the gloom which had enveloped the disconsolate members of
'Abdu'l-Baha's family was finally dispelled. Through the agency of these
successive visitors the Greatest Holy Leaf, who alone with her Brother
among the members of her Father's household had to confront the rebellion
of almost the entire company of her relatives and associates, found that
consolation which so powerfully sustained her till the very close of her
life.

(61) With 'Abdu'l-Baha's ascension, and more particularly with the passing
of His well-beloved and illustrious sister the Most Exalted Leaf--the last
survivor of a glorious and heroic age--there draws to a close the first and
most moving chapter of Baha'i history, marking t
