Regarding
the people who come to 'Akká; some of them make wonderful progress;
extinguished lamps they were, they became ignited, withered were they, they
became fresh and young; dead were they, and they became alive, returning to
their respective countries electrified with the dynamic forces of the Most
Great Glad-Tidings. On the other hand, others have come and left without being
touched by this great force.
