In regard to the
Star of the West which in Rasht fell into the hands of strangers. There was a wisdom in this. It will have great effect in the future. The editors of the newspapers are
mistaken. The literature of the Bahá'ís
has encircled the world and not alone Persia.
The derision and the scorn of the editors of the newspapers will be the
cause of their own undoing and regret.
They must loosen their tongues in thankfulness and praise and
glorification that-Praise be to God!
Persia has found such influence in America that a magazine like unto the
Star of the West is founded. This
behoveth them to be thankful and not complain.
This is the cause of the glory of Persia and the Persians and not their
shame. How long this community does not
behold the wonders and miracles of Thy Lord!
