Part 2 (2/2)

Saiki, and also to all others. Through the graces of the Beauty of Abha I cherish the hope that those souls will become sublime emblems and fruitful trees in this Supreme Paradise because a productive man is like unto a tree which is fruitful and of large shadow and so he is the ornament of the garden of Paradise.

This world, though apparently ornamented, yet its ornamentation is like unto the freshness of the flowers on the meadow whose prosperity lasts but for a short time, fading speedily through the heat of the sun and the blowing of the wind. The Heavenly Trees, however, are always green, fresh, full of blossoms and continually yielding fruits. They remain till Eternity in perfect fineness, freshness and vigor.

Extend my great kindness and praise to the maid servant of G.o.d, Fuyo (Yuri) Mochizuki, so that she may, with a divine power, a heavenly purpose and G.o.dly motive start her writing and that the Breaths of the Holy Spirit may help her pen.

I am supplicating to G.o.d to help Mr. f.u.kuta progress day by day, to guide the j.a.panese women to tear up the curtains of superst.i.tions, observe Lights of Truth, seek Eternal Life and long for everlasting Bestowals.

[Tablet Translated August 2, 1921]

O thou who wanderest in the divine Path!

In the path of G.o.d thou didst leave behind thy familiar country and traveled to those distant regions, so that thou mayest spread the Teachings of G.o.d and give the people the Glad Tidings of the Kingdom of G.o.d. Be a.s.sured that confirmations will reach thee and thou wilt become a.s.sisted in accomplis.h.i.+ng a great service to the world of humanity.

Thousand tidings may reach thee!

Thy brother Ono San, also will be confirmed and with utmost joy and happiness he will come back.

(Translated by Rouhi Afnan, Haifa, August 2, 1921)

[Tablet of November 7, 1921]

O thou who proclaimest the Kingdom of G.o.d!

Thy letter has been received and gave much joy. Praise be to G.o.d that the confirmations of the Kingdom of Abha reached and thou becamest the cause of guidance of the souls. It is my hope that in Korea thou wilt raise the banner of the Greatest Guidance. Convey my utmost kindness to Mr. Roh(6) .

I have utmost love for him and ask for him Heavenly blessings.

(November 7, 1921, Haifa. Received in Tokyo, February 14, 1922)

2: Dr. George J. Augur 18531927

Dr. George Jacob Augur, a dedicated and deeply spiritual ”Disciple of 'Abdu'l-Baha”(7) received several Tablets from 'Abdu'l-Baha. At the Master's summons Dr. Augur left his home in Honolulu and went to j.a.pan. He arrived the first time in June 1914 and stayed until April 1915. He made several other trips to j.a.pan with his wife, Ruth, also a firm believer.

The Augurs worked closely with Miss Alexander to establish the Faith in j.a.pan. While there Dr. Augur lived in the j.a.panese style, learned j.a.panese and wore the kimono. With 'Abdu'l-Baha's permission he returned to Hawaii to stay in 1919.
