…Mr. Gregory, by visiting the blessed Tomb, [1] hath
received a new power, and obtained a new life. When he arrived at Stuttgart,
although black of colour, yet he shone as a bright light in the meeting of the
friends. Verily, he hath greatly advanced in this journey, he received another
life and obtained another power. When he returned, Gregory was quite another
Gregory. He hath become a new creation. Reflect on the Grace of the Kingdom of
Abhá and see how it enlightened such a person. It has made him spiritual,
heavenly, divine and a manifestor of the graces of the world of humanity, This
man shall progress.
