O ye the sincere loved ones of the Abhá Beauty!
In these days the Cause of God, the world over, is fast
growing in power and, day by day, is spreading further and
further to the utmost bounds of the earth. Its enemies,
therefore, from all the kindreds and peoples of the world,
are growing aggressive, malevolent, envious and bitterly
hostile. It is incumbent upon the loved ones of God to
exercise the greatest care and prudence in all things, whether
great or small, to take counsel together and unitedly resist
the onslaught of the stirrers up of strife and the movers of
mischief. They must endeavour to consort in a friendly
spirit with everyone, must follow moderation in their conduct,
must have respect and consideration one for another
and show loving-kindness and tender regard to all the
peoples of the world. They must be patient and long-suffering,
that they may grow to become the divine magnets
of the Abhá Kingdom and acquire the dynamic power
of the hosts of the realm on high.

The fleeting hours of man’s life on earth pass swiftly by
and the little that still remaineth shall come to an end, but
that which endureth and lasteth for evermore is the fruit
that man reapeth from his servitude at the Divine Threshold.
Behold the truth of this saying, how abundant and glorious
are the proofs thereof in the world of being!
