Rest you assured that the breathings of the Holy Spirit will
loosen your tongue. Speak, therefore; speak out with great courage at every
meeting. When you are about to begin your address, turn first to Bahá'u'lláh
and ask for the confirmations of the Holy Spirit, then open your lips and say
whatever is suggested to your heart; this, however, with the utmost courage,
dignity and conviction. It is my hope that from day to day your gatherings will
grow and flourish, and that those who are seeking after truth will hearken
therein to reasoned arguments and conclusive proofs. I am with you heart and
soul at every meeting; be sure of this.
Hold you the Nineteen Day Feasts with utmost dignity.

Meetings’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House of
