profit by this example, inasmuch as We made it a lesson unto every
beholder. Were the breezes of Revelation to seize thee, thou wouldst flee
the world, and turn unto the Kingdom, and wouldst expend all thou
possessest, that thou mayest draw nigh unto this sublime Vision."

We bade a Christian dispatch this Tablet, and he informed Us that he
transmitted both the original and its translation. God, the Almighty, the
All-Knowing, hath knowledge of all things.

One of the sections of the Suratu'l-Haykal is the Tablet addressed to His
Majesty, the Czar of Russia--may God, exalted and glorified be He--assist

Bush calleth aloud: 'The All-Bounteous is come mounted upon the clouds!
Blessed is he that draweth nigh unto Him, and woe betide them that are far

"Arise thou amongst men in the name of this all-compelling Cause, and
summon, then, the nations unto God, the Mighty, the Great. Be thou not of
them who called upon God by one of His names, but who, when He Who is the
Object of all names appeared, denied Him and turned aside from Him, and,
in the end, pronounced sentence against Him with manifest injustice.
Consider and call thou to mind the days whereon the Spirit of God (Jesus
Christ) appeared, and Herod gave judgment against Him. God, however, aid
