O thou who art rejoiced by the Divine Glad tidings! Verily I have received thy last letter, and thanked God that
thou didst reach Paris protected and guarded by Him. Thank thou God that He
assisted thee to behold the brilliant faces of the believers of God, and
favored thee to meet them in American countries; for verily, beholding those
shining countenances is a divine gift. By it, the hearts are dilated, the souls
are rejoiced, and the spirits are attracted toward the Supreme Concourse.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 19, March 2, 1915)
