O ye friends of God! Arise from the corporeal beds (bodies) and ask for the divine favors, so that ye become revived by the Holy Spirit through the breath which the Spirit breathes into the souls. (9:1) By the glory of my Lord, there will be for your brilliant assemblage an evident sign and great effects in the spirits and the hearts. Therefore, gladden the friends of the Merciful with the glad-tidings of the Lord in this time, and convey to them greeting from Abdul-Baha in this promised century, so that they may arise with me in servitude to the Threshold of El-Baha. (9:2) The weekly reports of *** were received and I was informed if their beautiful meanings which proved firmness and steadfastness in the Cause of God and solidity in the Covenant of God. (9:3) Through the favor and providence of the Beauty of Abha I trust that Spiritual Gathering will develop day by day and will be reinforced by the strength of God. (9:4) Communication with the friends of God in other countries is a source of fragrant spirituality. (9:5) O ye members of the Spiritual Gathering! Appreciate this favor. This is the glorious crown of the Kingdom, which, in this century, the Hand of the Great Favor has placed on your head, and the gems of this brilliant diadem will surely glisten unto all centuries.
