Alexander, Agnes B. (Agnes Baldwin), 1875-1970; Augur, George Jacob, 1853-1927; Bahais -- Japan; Bahais -- United States; Yamamoto, Kanichi, 1879-1961
Thy letter was received. Praise be to God, the sight of thy mind has been
opened and thou hast acquired the power of spiritual healing. Thou hast
sought and found the Truth and hast been aware of Heavenly Mysteries.
The teachings of His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh like unto the rays of the sun
illumined the East as well as the West, vivify the dead and unite the
various religions. They prove the Oneness of God, for they gather all
communities of the world under the pavilion of the oneness of the world of
mankind.
Consider how stirred the world is and in what a commotion are the people
of the world. Heavenly Power is needed to do away with this stir and
agitation. Otherwise, this great Cause will not be realized through human
power. Human power, no matter how strong it may be, it illumines like unto
an ignited lamp a limited space and trains a small number of souls. It is
the sun which illumines all regions, and it is the Heavenly Power which
gathers around a single spot all the sects and communities. Strive
therefore, that thou mayest serve this remarkable Power and attain unto
profitable and far reaching results.
(December 17, 1919)
[Tablet of February 1920]
O ye the honored souls! (a group of men students)
Your letter of congratulation arrived and imparted joy, because its
contents indicated that the Sun of Reality hath begun Its radiation upon
those regions. It is my hope that that region may get illumination and the
Heavenly Dawn may break forth. This will be attained through the power of
Faith in the Covenant.
Therefore we are expecting that every one of those friends may in that
country become like a brilliant and luminous candle, and so the Light of
Guidance may emanate upon the hearts.
How often it hath happened that one blessed soul hath proved to become the
cause of guidance unto a continent. I also congratulate you on (the advent
of) this Blessed Day.
(February 1920. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of August 10, 1920]
O thou beloved maid-servant of God (Miss Haruko Mori)(19)
Praise be unto God, that through the guidance of Miss Alexander thou
couldst hear the Call of God. Then strive as far as thou art able to
spread the Divine Teachings, so that thou mayest become distinguished with
this great Bestowal among the women of the world.
(August 10, 1920. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of August 10, 1920]
O thou who art a favored servant at the Threshold of the Most High! (Mr.
Kenjiro Ono(20) )
Thy letter was received. Verily, verily hast thou suffered in thy life
time. Do not thou be grieved because of the loss of thy sight. Praise be
unto God, that thy insight is keen. Do not thou lament over thy poverty,
for the Treasury of the Kingdom is thine. Do not thou worry that thou
couldst not study in the material schools, because thou hast received
lessons in the Verses of the Oneness (of God) in the Divine University.
