The merciful assembly of Kenosha hath in reality taken food and provisions
from the Kingdom of ABHA and become confirmed by the aid of the Sun of
Reality. Therefore, I am hopeful that, day by day, it may advance and
progress.
The members of the Spiritual Meeting (the Board of Consultation) must
endeavor, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to make the souls real Bahais.
If they attain this glorious purpose, that country will be illumined and
that land will become a veritable paradise, all nations will look to that
assembly and from the explanation and exposition thereof receive realities
and meanings.
O thou servant of Baha’! Always remind the friends of the greatness of the
great message.
Convey longing greeting of great love from me to the members of the
Meeting of Consultation: * * * Whenever I think of them I find soulful
repose and conscious joy.
The feast (supper) [every nineteen days] is very acceptable and will
finally produce good results. The beloved and the maid-servants of the
Merciful must inaugurate the feast in such wise as to resurrect the feast
of the ancients—namely, the “lord’s supper.” The attracted maid-servant of
God, Mrs. ........, I hope will be inspired so she may become the means of
unity among the friends in every city. That meeting for feast for which
thou wert preparing and providing, should recur every so often, so that it
may prove a means of attracting the confirmation of the Kingdom of ABHA.
Inform the maid-servant of God, who prepared her home as a [temporary]
Mashrak-el-Azcar, that this service was accepted in the Kingdom of ABHA.
Inform the near (dear) maid-servant of God [thy wife], who hath organized
a school of industry in order that children may learn an industry and
chant communes, that this is very agreeable.
O thou servant of God! To look after the sick is one of the greatest
duties. Every soul who becomes sick, the other friends should certainly
offer the life (of service) in the utmost kindness.
Thou hast asked regarding the naming of children: When thou wishest to
name a babe, prepare a meeting therefor; chant the verses and communes,
and supplicate and implore the Threshold of Oneness and beg the attainment
of guidance for the babe and wish confirmated firmness and constancy; then
give the name and enjoy beverage and sweetmeat. This is spiritual baptism.
His honor, Mr. ......, Mrs. ...... and ...... arrived. They were attracted
by the fragrances of God and ignited by the fire of the love of God. With
a new spirit and fresh life they returned.
O son of the Kingdom! Thy services in the Kingdom of ABHA are evident,
well known and accepted. Indeed thou art a truthful servant of the Holy
Threshold and a firm caller to the divine Kingdom.
Strive so that the odor of violation cease and all come under the
protection of the Covenant.
