5 During my stay in America I cried out in every meeting and summoned the
people to the propagation of the ideals of universal peace. I said plainly
that the continent of Europe had become like unto an arsenal and its
conflagration was dependent upon one spark, and that in the coming years,
or within two years, all that which is recorded in the Revelation of John
and the Book of Daniel would become fulfilled and come to pass. This
matter, in all probability, was published in the San Francisco Bulletin,
October 12, 1912. You may refer to it, so that the truth may become clear
and manifest; thus ye may fully realize that this is the time for the
diffusion of the fragrances.
6 The magnanimity of man must be heavenly or, in other words, it must be
assisted by the divine confirmation, so that he may become the cause of
the illumination of the world of humanity.
7 Upon you be greeting and praise!

Bahá’u’lláh, and addressed to the Bahá’ís of Canada—Newfoundland, Prince
Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba,
Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Mackenzie, Keewatin, Ungava,
Franklin Islands—and Greenland. _

_He is God!_
O ye daughters and sons of the Kingdom:
2 Although in most of the states and cities of the United States, praise
be to God, His fragrances are diffused, and souls unnumbered are turning
their faces and advancing toward the Kingdom of God, yet in some of the
states the Standard of Unity is not yet upraised as it should be, nor are
the mysteries of the Holy Books, such as the Bible, the Gospel, and the
Qur’án, unraveled. Through the concerted efforts of all the friends the
Standard of Unity must needs be unfurled in those states, and the divine
teachings promoted, so that these states may also receive their portion of
the heavenly bestowals and a share of the Most Great Guidance. Likewise in
the provinces of Canada, such as Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta,
British Columbia, Ungava, Keewatin, Mackenzie, Yukon, and the Franklin
Islands in the Arctic Circle—the believers of God must become
self-sacrificing and like unto the candles of guidance become ignited in
the provinces of Canada. Should they show forth such a magnanimity, it is
assured that they will obtain universal divine confirmations, the heavenly
cohorts will reinforce them uninterruptedly, and a most great victory will
be obtained. God willing, the call of the Kingdom may reach the ears of
the Eskimos, the inhabitants of the Islands of Franklin in the north of
Canada, as well as Greenland. Should the fire of the love of God be
kindled in Greenland, all the ice of that country will be melted, and its
cold weather become temperate—that is, if the hearts be touched with the
