it has a magnetism, it has the characteristic of producing certainty, it has abliss, it has a light, it h a s a , supernatural glory, it has with it angels tha~t exercise a control over every particle of the body, and besides, it is accoml)anied by the nnmerotis extraol:dinary signs manifesting the power of God. It is impossible that the receiver of such a revelation should ever have any misgiving as to I its Divine origi'n. T o him"a doubt is. as 'fatal- as unbelief. Such a revelation with all its characteristics is with him the gr.eatest, of miracles, even if he could work n~) other.miracle. A complete transformation beyond inerely humart power is wt>rkedin _the person who i s f a v o r e d w i t h th'e W o r d of God. His love f0r God is so extraordinary that h e is mad after IIim, arid his"constancy and faithfulness in tIis path know n 0 b o u n d s . T h e certainty that reigns in his hSart m a k e s liim independent of all. H e is an infallible guide and sits on the throne of sufficiency. Such is iny condition, but the world knows nothing of it. 13e= I~_OA:~ I witnessed a n y miracle or obtained a n y heavenly assistance, I.. was _ / ~ r a w n to .]-Iim b x the:might~ magnetisna of H i s w o r d in a manner for:wliicli .- i cannot account.~..

' ~ T O h u m a n b e i n g is free from p a i n a n d trouble, be h e a prophet or a ] [ ~ . ip01itician; a"stientist or. a Seer. Every. trouble does:not destroy our internal peace, b u t only tha.t which- a man thinks, is-the Cause o f his-destruction. A pain or grief which he thinks will . finally result in sometliing good..for h i m does n9t a t all disturb his peace ; rather i.t strengthens it. Consequently we.find G o d l y and God-fearing persons always h a p p y at heart, notwithstanding severe hardships and innumerable difficulties iri their way. -Not only do t h e i r f a c e s show Signs of happiness, b u t their hearts are full of bliss and. certaint3, for t h e y have f0und o u t G o d tl~e Almighty, who !s tlie founttdn head of all blessings, w h o controls e v e r y atom of the Uni'~:erse, and who possesses the. power to r e m o v e all :troubles.

A p p a r e n t l y they seem to be suffering, but theii~ hearts are full of joy. M o r e o v e r t h e y suffer for the sake of 'others, a n d - t o suffer for-others i s a pleasure in itself.
