78: O THOU WHO ART PURE IN HEART, SANCTIFIED IN SPIRIT, ...

O thou who art pure in heart, sanctified in spirit, peerless in character,

beauteous in face! Thy photograph hath been received revealing thy

physical frame in the utmost grace and the best appearance. Thou art dark

in countenance and bright in character. Thou art like unto the pupil of

the eye which is dark in colour, yet it is the fount of light and the

revealer of the contingent world.

I have not forgotten nor will I forget thee. I beseech God that He may

graciously make thee the sign of His bounty amidst mankind, illumine thy

face with the light of such blessings as are vouchsafed by the merciful

Lord, single thee out for His love in this age which is distinguished

among all the past ages and centuries.
