But my name should be confined to Abdul-Baha in all writings. This is the collective name which will gather all the people, and it is the strong fortress and protection of the Cause of God. The beloved ones must limit themselves to this. However, ye may mention me as the Light of the Love of God, the Flame of the Guidance of God and the Banner of Peace and Harmony. I trust in God that ye may ever be confirmed through the Holy Spirit. (20:2)

Your long letter was considered and its contents were a source of happiness. Thank God that ye, western friends, have become dawning-points of the love of God and stars of knowledge leading to Him; night and day are ye thinking of imparting life to souls and of educating people of discernment. (20:3)

Regarding the bless word, the Greatest Name: Its writing or spelling is according to its pronunciation (i. e., it is spelled as it is pronounced) in the Persian language. Baha is correct; Beha is incorrect. How ever, this question must not cause in harmony and grief among the friends. The truth shall become manifest. (20:4)
