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

O thou dear maid-servant of God!

Thy letter was received. Praise God! for thou didst
hear the call of the Kingdom, wast awakened, attentive
and attained faith in the Lord of Hosts.

His Holiness Christ, addressing the believers, uttereth
the following in the Gospel: "Be awake lest the
Son of Man come and find ye asleep!" Now, thou
wast awake, therefore thou didst advance and engage
in the service of the Word of God. Appreciate the
value of this attainment, and, like unto a candle, radiate
the light of the love of God in the meeting of the
beloved. Encourage the beloved of God and be a
source of joy and gladness to the Bahais. hold meetings
and read and chant the heavenly teachings, so that
city may be illumined with the light of reality and that
country become a veritable paradise by the strength
of the Holy Spirit, for this cycle is the cycle of the
Glorious Lord and the melody of oneness and solidarity
of the world of mankind must reach the ears of the
East and West.

Convey greeting of reverence to all the maid-servants
of God and His man-servants.
