O thou who art firm in the Covenant! The letter thou hadst written on 2
May 1919 was received. Praise thou God that in tests thou art firm and
steadfast and art holding fast to the Abha Kingdom. Thou art not shaken by
any affliction or disturbed by any calamity. Not until man is tried doth
the pure gold distinctly separate from the dross. Torment is the fire of
test wherein the pure gold shineth resplendently and the impurity is
burned and blackened. At present thou art, praise be to God, firm and
steadfast in tests and trials and art not shaken by them.
Thy wife is not in harmony with thee, but praise be to God, the Blessed
Beauty is pleased with thee and is conferring upon thee the utmost bounty
and blessings. But still try to be patient with thy wife, perchance she
may be transformed and her heart may be illumined. The contribution thou
hast made for teaching is highly acceptable and it shall be eternally
mentioned in the divine Kingdom for it is the cause of the diffusion of
fragrances and the exaltation of the Word of God.
