and praise to the Kingdom of Mysteries. He asketh that bounties
will be sent down unto you, and peace of mind, so that ye may succeed in
rendering this most laudable service with ease and joy.

O Thou Provider! These souls are doing good. Make them dear to both
worlds, make them the recipients of measureless grace. Thou art the
Powerful, Thou art the Able, Thou art the Giver, the Bestower, the
Incomparable Lord.

(From a Tablet--translated from the Persian) [69]

"70: What thou hadst written as to the school is a cause for great
rejoicing,..."

What thou hadst written as to the school is a cause for great rejoicing,
and delighteth the heart. The friends one and all were cheered and
refreshed by this news.

This school is one of the vital and essential institutions which indeed
support and bulwark the edifice of humankind. God willing, it will develop
and be perfected along every line. Once this school hath, in every
respect, been perfected, once it hath been made to flourish and to surpass
all other schools, then, each following the other, more and more schools
must be established.

Our meaning is that the friends must direct their attention toward the
education and training of all the children of Persia, so that all of them,
having, in the school of true learning, achieved the power of
understanding and come to know the inner realities of the universe, will
go on to uncover the signs and mysteries of God, and will find themselves
illumined by the lights of the knowledge of the Lord, and by His love.
This truly is the very best way to educate all peoples.

"71: Make ye every effort to improve the Tarbiyat School and to develop
order..."

Make ye every effort to improve the Tarbiyat School and to develop order
and discipline in this institution. Utilize every means to make this
School a garden of the All-Merciful, from which the lights of learning
will cast their beams, and wherein the children, whether Baha'i or other,
will be educated to such a degree as to become God's gifts to man, and the
pride of the human race. Let them make the greatest progress in the
shortest span of time, let them open wide their eyes and uncover the inner
realities of all things, become proficient in every art and skill, and
learn to comprehend the secrets of all things even as they are--this
faculty being one of the clearly evident effects of servitude to the Holy
