Upon them be Baha’u’l-Abha!
He Is God
O ye firm ones! O ye steadfast ones!
The publication of the STAR OF THE WEST is conducive to the happiness and
beatitude of the friends; for it is a clear mirror in which the pictures of the
events and happenings in the Cause and the news of the progress of the Kingdom
throughout the world are reflected and can be observed. Praise flows from the
tongue of every growing and firm believer after reading it, for he becomes
informed of the events and thoughts. Unquestionably, this publication shall
serve the world of humanity. If it is continued, its arena shall become
broadened and it shall attain to such a station as to bring about the unity of
the East and of the West.
Do not become discouraged, nor yet dispirited! Show ye firmness and
steadfastness, and, if possible, publish it in a larger size and more legible
characters.
Upon ye be Baha’u’l-Abha!
(Signed) ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas
