"O thou maid-servant of God!..."

1 |
O thou maid-servant of God!
| |
2 |
Thy letter *** was received; its contents were
very sweet. The sweetness of the meanings was
unlimited. I ask God that thou mayest find rest and
comfort in the shelter of the holy Banner of Peace and
Concord; become the means of spreading the love of
God; attain boundless health and security; grow joyfully,
day by day, through the glad-tidings; soar on
high through ecstasy and delight; sings the melody and
proclaim the call, "Ya Baha-ul-ABHA!"
| |

O maid-servant of God! That call to which thou
didst listen is from the Kingdom of ABHA. Therefore,
praise and glorify the Possessor of that Call, so
that the call may be repeated.

As to the interpretation of the vision, it is thus:
Ascent from earth to heaven indicateth growth in the
love of God and development in the knowledge of God.
The more thou dost develop, the brighter and more
spacious becometh the pathway to the Kingdom. The
building in front of which thou didst stand is an edifice
of divine edifices, a station of the spiritual stations. I
hope that thou mayest attain to that station, also to
other stations which are the other edifices.
| |
5 |
I supplicate and implore the Kingdom of ABHA in
behalf of thine honored husband and all the family and
the friends in Cincinnati. I pray that the heavenly
blessings may descend, the divine bounties become possible
and that thou mayest become a true caller of the
Word of God.
