I am glad to tell you that the Guardian of the Cause of God is in good
health. The splendid attitude of the beloved friends in the East and the
West and their wonderfully sacrificial efforts in the service of the Cause
have greatly lightened the burden of grief upon his loving heart and so,
he may return to the Holy Land towards the end of summer when his entire
grief, we hope, will be replaced with joy and fragrances which are being
wafted to his dear heart.

(216) Your numerous letters written to the beloved Guardian and myself
have all arrived and brought with them the sweet perfume of your devotion,
sincerity, strong faith and active and beautiful services you are
inexhaustibly rendering to the Cause of God. You should be happy, dear
Bahá’í sister in being so wonderfully confirmed in your spiritual life.
The beloved Guardian of the Cause is nowadays in good health and through
the magnificent efforts the friends are exerting in every country to
strengthen and augment their bond of unity and love for one another, his
grief has been lightened and so we have great hope that he will return to
the Holy Land before long. Here he will resume his personal touch with the
friends the world over and will inspire them with his guidance to still
greater activity.
The Ladies of the Holy Family and I are always remembering you dear
friends of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and praying for your confirmation and happiness. I
am thankful to all the dear friends who so faithfully and lovingly
responded with their excellent deeds to my affectionate appeal for greater
unity and love. May the Blessed Beauty and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá reward them richly
and crown their sincere services with great results.

(217) From this hallowed Spot I send heavenly greetings to those two
faithful servants of the holy Threshold of the Abhá Beauty. Indeed, no
word of compliment could be compared to this expression of praise and
commendation, whereby, thanks be to God, you both have distinguished
yourselves as the devoted servants of His divine Threshold and as the
sincere, the self-sacrificing bond-slaves serving at the door of His
mercifulness. You have always proved yourselves untiring in your noble
efforts and are continually striving with utmost endeavour to discharge
your important and glorious duties. This can be attributed to naught save
to the unfailing bounties of the Abhá Beauty and to the invisible aid that
‘Abdu’l-Bahá has graciously accorded you.

(218) In this Day nothing is so important as service. Did not ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
voluntarily call Himself the ‘Servant’ of Bahá, manifesting also in His
life the perfections of servitude to God and man?
