O thou daughter of the Kingdom! Thy letter dated 5 December 1918 was
received. It contained the good news that the friends of God and the
maidservants of the Merciful have gathered in summer at Green Acre, have
been engaged day and night in the commemoration of God, have served the
oneness of the world of humanity, have shown love to all religions, have
remained aloof from every religious prejudice and have been kind to all
people. The divine religions must be the cause of oneness among men, and
the means of unity and love; they must promulgate universal peace, free
man from every prejudice, bestow joy and gladness, exercise kindness to
all men and do away with every difference and distinction. Just as
Baha'u'llah addressing the world of humanity saith: 'O people! Ye are the
fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch.' At most it is this, that
some souls are ignorant, they must be educated; some are sick, they must
be healed; some are still of tender age, they must be helped to attain
maturity, and the utmost kindness must be shown to them. This is the
conduct of the people of Baha.
I hope that thy brothers and sisters will all become the well-wishers of
the world of mankind.
