"O thou esteemed maid-servant of the Loving Lord!..."

O thou esteemed maid-servant of the Loving Lord!

What thou hast written in recommendation of a
number of Christians was perused. Although the presence
of these persons will, in these times, cause the
revolt of the heedless ones and increase the trouble,
yet for your sake we will send them a telegram to
Egypt and permit them to come and visit. This is but
for thy sake, and Abdul-Baha cannot endure to meet
but the people of the Merciful and does not wish to
be in union except with the heavenly ones.

O thou chosen maid-servant of God! It is time for
thee to cry aloud and fervently, day and night, not to
sit still a moment, not to rest for an instant, but to
be always engaged in the commemoration of God and
invite the people with the utmost longing and ecstasy
unto the Kingdom of God.

4 |
Raise thou such melodies and harmony in Green Acre
that may reach unto the Kingdom of Abha and cause
joy and exaltation in the angels of heaven! This
matter needs a great enthusiasm (heat or exertion)
and a sanctity and purity like unto a manifest light.
Thou knowest what secrets doeth the spirit of Abdul-Baha
communicate with thee and what glad-tidings he
giveth unto thee! Show forth thy capacity and merit,
for without capacity the Gift doth not become manifest.
