|
O ye two well-loved handmaids of God! Whatever a man’s tongue speaketh,
that let him prove by his deeds. If he claimeth to be a believer, then let him
act in accordance with the precepts of the Abhá Kingdom.
|
Praised be God, ye two have demonstrated the truth of your words by your
deeds, and have won the confirmations of the Lord God. Every day at first
light, ye gather the Bahá’í children together and teach them the communes and
prayers. This is a most praiseworthy act, and bringeth joy to the children’s
hearts: that they should, at every morn, turn their faces toward the Kingdom
and make mention of the Lord and praise His Name, and in the sweetest of
voices, chant and recite.
|
These children are even as young plants, and teaching them the prayers is
as letting the rain pour down upon them, that they may wax tender and fresh,
and the soft breezes of the love of God may blow over them, making them to
tremble with joy.
|
Blessedness awaiteth you, and a fair haven.
