O respected personage! Thy second letter dated 19 December 1918 was
received. It was the cause of great joy and gladness, for it showed thy
firmness and steadfastness in the Covenant and Testament and thy yearning
to raise the call of the Kingdom of God. Today the call of the Kingdom is
the magnetic power which draweth to itself the world of mankind, for
capacity in men is great. Divine teachings constitute the spirit of this
age, nay rather the sun of this age. Every soul must endeavour that the
veils that cover men's eyes may be torn asunder and that instantly the sun
may be seen and that heart and sight may be illumined thereby.
Now, through the aid and bounty of God, this power of guidance and this
merciful bestowal are found in thee. Arise, therefore, in the utmost Power
that thou mayest bestow spirit upon mouldering bones, give sight to the
blind, balm and freshness to the depressed, and liveliness and grace to
the dispirited. Every lamp will eventually be extinguished save the lamp
of the Kingdom, which increaseth day by day in splendour. Every call shall
ultimately weaken except the call to the Kingdom of God, which day unto
day is raised. Every path shall finally be twisted except the road of the
Kingdom, which straighteneth day by day. Undoubtedly heavenly melody is
not to be measured with an earthly one, and artificial lights are not to
be compared with the heavenly Sun. Hence one must exert endeavour in
whatever is lasting and permanent so that one may more and more be
illumined, strengthened and revived....
I pray and supplicate the Divine Kingdom that thy father, mother and
brother may, through the light of guidance, enter the Kingdom of God.
