Publication of The Summons of the Lord of Hosts
To all National Spiritual Assemblies
24.1 It gives the Universal House of Justice the greatest pleasure to present your National Spiritual Assembly with this sample copy of the new volume of Bahá’u’lláh’s Writings just published in English by World Centre Publications.
24.2 The Summons of the Lord of Hosts brings together for the first time the authorized translations into English of the full texts of Bahá’u’lláh’s major Tablets to the kings and rulers of the world.

The volume includes the magnificent Súriy-i-Haykal (Súrih of the Temple), with its messages to individual rulers, and the Súriy-i-Mulúk (Súrih of the Kings), addressed collectively, in the words of Shoghi Effendi, “to the entire company of the monarchs of East and West”….
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
