71: O thou beloved maidservant of God! Thy letter … 109 |
|
O thou beloved maidservant of God! Thy letter
was received and its contents revealed the fact that the
friends, in perfect energy and vitality are engaged in the
propagation of the heavenly teachings. This news hath
caused intense joy and gladness. For every era hath a spirit;
the spirit of this illumined era lieth in the teachings of
Bahá’u’lláh. For these lay the foundation of the oneness of
the world of humanity and promulgate universal brotherhood.
They are founded upon the unity of science and
religion and upon investigation of truth. They uphold the
principle that religion must be the cause of amity, union
and harmony among men. They establish the equality of
both sexes and propound economic principles which are for
the happiness of individuals. They diffuse universal education,
that every soul may as much as possible have a share of
knowledge. They abrogate and nullify religious, racial,
political, patriotic and economic prejudices and the like.
Those teachings that are scattered throughout the Epistles
and Tablets are the cause of the illumination and the life of
the world of humanity. Whoever promulgateth them will
verily be assisted by the Kingdom of God.

The President of the Republic, Dr. Wilson, is indeed
serving the Kingdom of God for he is restless and strives
day and night that the rights of all men may be preserved
safe and secure, that even small nations, like greater ones,
may dwell in peace and comfort, under the protection of
Righteousness and Justice. This purpose is indeed a lofty
one. I trust that the incomparable Providence will assist and
confirm such souls under all conditions.
