he Assembly, let him turn his eyes unto the
Supreme Horizon, and say: 'O my God! I ask Thee, by Thy most glorious
Name, to aid me in that which will cause the affairs of Thy servants to
prosper, and Thy cities to flourish. Thou, indeed, hast power over all
things!' Blessed is he that entereth the Assembly for the sake of God, and
judgeth between men with pure justice. He, indeed, is of the blissful.

"O ye members of Assemblies in that land and in other countries! Take ye
counsel together, and let your concern be only for that which profiteth
mankind, and bettereth the condition thereof, if ye be of them that scan

sickness hath persisted until this day. They indeed were powerless to
protect it, or to effect a cure, whilst He Who hath been the Manifestation
of Power amongst men was withheld from achieving His purpose, by reason of
