THE CENTER OF DECISION

If any differences of opinion may arise in those regions you must
keep yourself entirely aloof and show forth love and kindness to
all, saying it is better to refer to the ordained Center all the affairs.
Whatever He commands that very thing is acceptable and beloved.
You must be satisfied with this. Strife is the cause of the dispersion
of the Word of God. Whatever I say and write, that is the duty
of all to comply with. Beside that no other word is permitted.

Regarding the establishment of the board of translation. This
matter is yet a theory, but its realization depends upon many affairs
which are far from attainment at present. Until these affairs are

The most great work to accomplish is this:--that ye must strive
so that the believers of God in America may arise to union and
concord. The most important feat in this day is harmony and
agreement. No soul must interfere with another and no one must
find fault with the rest. Praise be to God that all of them are
believers in the Beauty of Abhá, and `Abdu'l-Bahá is glad and
happy on that account. But they must arise to perform good deeds
according to divine instructions, so that they may guide the people
with heavenly actions and manners:--to such an extent that all
the inhabitants of the world may draw conclusions from their
behavior and deeds, that these persons are Bahá'ís. For the manifestation
of such deeds and actions from anybody else except
Bahá'ís is impossible and impracticable.

This is the foundation of the religion of God and the law of
God! Blessed is the one who practices them!
