O thou who art firm in the Covenant! The letter
thou hadst written on 2 May 1919 was received. Praise thou
God that in tests thou art firm and steadfast and art holding
fast to the Abhá Kingdom. Thou art not shaken by any
affliction or disturbed by any calamity. Not until man is
tried doth the pure gold distinctly separate from the dross.
Torment is the fire of test wherein the pure gold shineth
resplendently and the impurity is burned and blackened. At
present thou art, praise be to God, firm and steadfast in tests
and trials and art not shaken by them.
Thy wife is not in harmony with thee, but praise be to
God, the Blessed Beauty is pleased with thee and is conferring
upon thee the utmost bounty and blessings. But still
try to be patient with thy wife, perchance she may be
transformed and her heart may be illumined. The contribution
thou hast made for teaching is highly acceptable
and it shall be eternally mentioned in the divine Kingdom
for it is the cause of the diffusion of fragrances and the
exaltation of the Word of God.
