You have written regarding the Assembly of Women. Undoubtedly,
show ye great effort in this matter, and make constant endeavor in the
expansion of its spheres, and know ye of a certainty that it will be crowned
with great success. This subject is pregnant with far-reaching results and when
it is directed in a benefitting manner, such women will be trained in that
Assembly that the whole world will be astonished by their eloquent speeches and
fluent utterances, and they will silence and discomfort the orators of the East
and the West. Today the women in the West lead the men in the service of the
Cause, summon the people under the shade of the Blessed Perfection, and loosen
their tongues in eloquent lectures, delivery of wonderful proofs and the elucidation
of new arguments.
