O thou who art firm in the Covenant!
The International Congress of Religions was organized this year(228) in
the capital of Japan. Many souls hastened to that empire from different
parts of the world, in order that they might talk of and discuss the
principles of their own religions, each one longing to convert that
assembly to his own religion and establish the validity of his own
particular belief. This congress had under discussion the politics of the
religions., In truth, it is a political affair and not the attraction of
the heart, faith, advancement toward God nor enkindlement with the fire of
the love of God. This congress will not produce a lasting effect, for it
is essentially politico-religious. What is effective and conducive to the
penetration of the Word of God and the attraction of hearts is the
fragrances of holiness and the divine glad-tidings, which the members of
the congress do not in the least comprehend.
Consequently, if the believers of God go to that country—not to the
congress—and through the power of the Word of God, the breath of the Holy
Spirit, the reading of the verses of Oneness and associating with the
individual inhabitants of that kingdom, undoubtedly untold and tremendous
results will be realized and the sweet fragrance of the rose-garden of
mysteries will perfume the nostrils of the people of those regions. It is
significantly useful if some of the friends of God put forth and effort
and hasten from America to those parts (Japan).
O thou servant of God! Unquestionably, through the manifestation of the
Infinite Power in this glorious age, wonderful signs will appear in the
world and great changes are seen in the present and promised in the
future, for the Word of God is like unto the Spirit, and the contingent
world like unto the embryo in the womb of the mother. Through the power of
the Spirit such various changes and metamorphoses become apparent,
transforming them from one form to another. Especially in Persia, through
the power of the Word of God, wonderful signs will appear.
O thou servant of the True One! Though I had not the opportunity of
reading one line of the paper * * * yet I read it with the utmost
attention. Truly, I say, it was a superior paper and the details of the
reception of the two great ambassadors in the house of the favored and
attracted maid-servant of God, Miss ..., became known. Such receptions are
very acceptable and praiseworthy. You must all show forth the utmost
consideration to these two ambassadors, neither do ye fall short in
serving them in whatever manner possible.
