Your kind and loving letter written with an
unbounded love and a sincere devotion for our
beloved ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and His Cause has been duly
received. It spoke of that painful story where earthly
cares and physical illnesses have prevented blessed
souls, so overflowing with love, to shine in this dark
and dismal world. Nevertheless, dear sister, rest
assured and never be sorrowful. It is in one of the
foremost Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh that He says:
‘Verily God hath made adversity as a morning dew
upon His green pasture, and a wick for His lamp
which lighteth earth and heaven.’ Meaning thereby
that physical illnesses and misfortunes certainly
make a person nearer and nearer to his Lord. Why
then should we sorrow over earthly hindrances
when we have done what we possibly could, and
when we are sure that this, our little service, will
certainly be acceptable in His Sight?

I was very glad to know that even with all these
hindrances you could give the Message to certain
souls and I eagerly hope that they in turn will acquire
196
the love with which you taught them and will never
stop giving this Glad Tidings to every soul they
meet.
