“O thou maid-servant of God!…” |
|
I have read thy letter which indicated thy straightforwardness
in the love of God and thy desire in spreading
this brilliant light among the offspring of the
Africans. How good is the intention! And what an
excellent aim this great aim is! Indeed the hearts of
the Africans are as a blank scroll of paper upon which
thou canst write any phrase; but thou must have patience
and a heart as firm as a mountain, owing to the
innumerable hardships that may intervene, which could
be endured only by one who surrenders to grievous
calamities.

If thou art of the people of this field (race-course)
let loose the reins and rely upon the Merciful, and He
will indeed assist thee with the hosts of the unseen at
all times. Use thy utmost power to affiliate the hearts
and, with the whole of thy might, bring the scattered
souls into union.***
