Through Mírzá Yuhanna Dáwud, London, to the maidservant of
God, Margarethe Döring, Stuttgart.
He is God!
O daughter of the Kingdom!
Your letter arrived, and its contents showed that Mr.
Gregory, by visiting the blessed Tomb, [1] hath received a new power, and
obtained a new life. When he arrived at Stuttgart, although black of colour,
yet he shone as a bright light in the meeting of the friends. Verily, he hath
greatly advanced in this journey, he received another life and obtained another
power. When he returned, Gregory was quite another Gregory. He hath become a
new creation. Reflect on the Grace of the Kingdom of Abhá and see how it
enlightened such a person. It has made him spiritual, heavenly, divine and a
manifestor of the graces of the world of humanity, This man shall progress.
Thank God that you esteem Miss Knobloch, because she was the
cause of your guidance. With weeping and supplication I ask from the Kingdom of
Abhá, that He may vouchsafe heavenly blessings upon your father, mother,
sisters and brothers; and graciously enlighten Frl. Schaffer, Frl. Andrassy and
Fran. Kusterer with the Light of Guidance.
Convey my greetings to Herr Kruttner, and Herr Richard
Bauerle. I supplicate to the Divine Glory, and ask for them bright hearts,
merciful spirits, seeing eyes and hearing ears.
I ask God to make you a firm rooted, verdant and fruitful
tree in the Paradise of Abhá.
Upon thee be the Glory of the Most Glorious!
