O thou beloved maidservant of God! Thy letter was received and its
contents revealed the fact that the friends, in perfect energy and
vitality are engaged in the propagation of the heavenly teachings. This
news hath caused intense joy and gladness. For every era hath a spirit;
the spirit of this illumined era lieth in the teachings of Baha'u'llah.
For these lay the foundation of the oneness of the world of humanity and
promulgate universal brotherhood. They are founded upon the unity of
science and religion and upon investigation of truth. They uphold the
principle that religion must be the cause of amity, union and harmony
among men. They establish the equality of both sexes and propound economic
principles which are for the happiness of individuals. They diffuse
universal education, that every soul may as much as possible have a share
of knowledge. They abrogate and nullify religious, racial, political,
patriotic and economic prejudices and the like. Those teachings that are
scattered throughout the Epistles and Tablets are the cause of the
illumination and the life of the world of humanity. Whoever promulgateth
them will verily be assisted by the Kingdom of God.
The President of the Republic, Dr. Wilson, is indeed serving the Kingdom
of God for he is restless and strives day and night that the rights of all
men may be preserved safe and secure, that even small nations, like
greater ones, may dwell in peace and comfort, under the protection of
Righteousness and Justice. This purpose is indeed a lofty one. I trust
that the incomparable Providence will assist and confirm such souls under
all conditions.
