Upon him be Baha’u’l-Abha!
He Is God
O thou real beloved!
The letter which thou best written in regard to the happiness and joy,
beatitude and rejoicing of the American believers concerning the trip of ‘Abdu’l-Baha
to the country of Joseph of Canaan, and likewise their expectation of my going
to America was perused. However, the latter event is depended upon several
conditions which are already explained in a former Tablet. The attractive power
is necessary.
We must all with the utmost joy and cheerfulness sacrifice our lives for the
Truth! Consider how I have left aside a thousand works and with the greatest
attraction am writing to thee with my own hand; so that in every moment thou
mayst raise a wave and in devotion in the Love of God and the spending of thy
life in the Cause, thou mayst make every possible effort.
I have written a Tablet with my own hand for the Star of the West. Print it in
its pages.
Upon thee be Baha!
(Signed) ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas
(Star of the West, vol. 1, no. 17, January 19, 1911)
