77: O THOU REVERED MAIDSERVANT OF GOD! THY LETTER ...

O thou revered maidservant of God! Thy letter from Los Angeles was

received. Thank divine Providence that thou hast been assisted in service

and hast been the cause of the promulgation of the oneness of the world of

humanity, so that the darkness of differences among men may be dissipated,

and the pavilion of the unity of nations may cast its shadow over all

regions. Without such unity, rest and comfort, peace and universal

reconciliation are unachievable. This illumined century needeth and

calleth for its fulfilment. In every century a particular and central

theme is, in accordance with the requirements of that century, confirmed

by God. In this illumined age that which is confirmed is the oneness of

the world of humanity. Every soul who serveth this oneness will

undoubtedly be assisted and confirmed.

I hope that in the assemblies thou mayest sing praises with a sweet melody

and thus become the cause of joy and gladness to all.
