O ye who are holding fast unto the Covenant and Testament! This day, from
the realms of the All-Glorious, from the Kingdom of Holiness where
hosannas of glorification and praise rise up, the Company on high direct
their gaze upon you. Whensoever their gaze lighteth upon gatherings of
those who are steadfast in the Covenant and Testament, then do they utter
their cry, 'Glad tidings! Glad tidings!' Then, exulting, do they lift up
their voices, and shout, 'O ye spiritual communion! O ye gathering of God!
Blessed are ye! Glad tidings be unto you! Bright be your faces, and be ye
of good cheer, for ye cling to the Covenant of the Beloved of all the
worlds, ye are on fire with the wine of His Testament. Ye have plighted
your troth to the Ancient of Days, ye have drunk deep from the chalice of
loyalty. Ye have guarded and defended the Cause of God; ye have not been a
cause of dividing up His Word; ye have not brought His Faith low, but have
striven to glorify His Holy Name; ye have not allowed the Blessed Cause to
be exposed to the derision of the people. Ye have not permitted the
Designated Station to be humbled, nor been willing to see the Centre of
Authority discredited or exposed to mockery and persecution. Ye have
striven to keep the Word whole and one. Ye have passed through the portals
of mercy. Ye have not let the Blessed Beauty slip from your minds, to fade
unremembered.'
The Glory rest upon you.
