Beloved friends, the bounties and protection with which the
Blessed Beauty is nurturing and sheltering the infant organism of His new world
order through this violent period of transition and trial, give ample assurance
of victories to come if we but follow the path of His guidance. He rewards our
humble efforts with effusions of grace which bring not only advancement to the
Cause but assurance and happiness to our hearts, so that we may indeed look
upon our neighbours with bright and shining faces, confident that from our
services now will eventuate that blissful future which our descendants will
inherit, glorifying Baha'u'llah, the Prince of Peace, the Redeemer of Mankind.
