O thou daughter of the Kingdom! Thy letter dated
5 December 1918 was received. It contained the good news
that the friends of God and the maidservants of the Merciful
have gathered in summer at Green Acre, have been engaged
day and night in the commemoration of God, have served
the oneness of the world of humanity, have shown love to
all religions, have remained aloof from every religious prejudice
and have been kind to all people. The divine religions
must be the cause of oneness among men, and the means of
unity and love; they must promulgate universal peace, free
man from every prejudice, bestow joy and gladness, exercise
kindness to all men and do away with every difference
and distinction. Just as Bahá'u'lláh addressing the world of
humanity saith: `O people! Ye are the fruits of one tree
and the leaves of one branch.' At most it is this, that some
souls are ignorant, they must be educated; some are sick,
they must be healed; some are still of tender age, they must
be helped to attain maturity, and the utmost kindness must be
shown to them. This is the conduct of the people of Bahá.
I hope that thy brothers and sisters will all become the
well-wishers of the world of mankind.
