Through the maid-servant of God, Mrs. Helen S. Goodall
O ye faithful friends!
The maid-servant of the Kingdom of Bahá'u'lláh has written
the joyful news that the friends in that region have established an Assembly,
have engaged in the spreading of the teachings of God and have arisen with the
utmost endeavour, sincerity of intention, and enkindlement with the fire of the
Love of God so that that country may become a main-spring of the signs, and
that city become illumined, and a number of souls like stars of the Horizon of
Holiness may shine in the assemblage of the Kingdom of man (humanity).
This Assembly was organized at the right time. It is my hope
that it may become a magnet of confirmation. If it remain firm and steadfast
this Assembly will become so illumined that it will be a full, refulgent moon
in the Horizon of everlasting Glory.
Report and write to me the services which are accomplished
by this Assembly so that they may become the cause of spiritual happiness and
joy to the heart.
Upon thee be the Glory of God!
