I have now been for some time in these regions. In any city
I have entered I have met with the friends and other people. In all the
gatherings and most of the churches I have called out to the Abhá Kingdom and
invited people to the Cause of the Blessed Beauty. At night I have implored and
supplicated and prayed and asked for assistance, so that the rays of the Sun of
Reality may shine on this country, illumine all the regions of America, bestow
everlasting life; that its citizens may acquire heavenly civilization and that
they may be bountifully favored through the teachings of the Blessed Beauty.
Praise be to God! This has come to pass through the grace of
the Blessed Beauty and the assistance of the Abhá Kingdom. The call of God has
been raised in all the cities of America. Accounts of the greatness of the
Cause have been published even in the newspapers.
