We exhort the men of the House of Justice and command them
to ensure the protection and safeguarding of men, women and children. It is
incumbent upon them to have the utmost regard for the interests of the people
at all times and under all conditions. Blessed is the ruler who succoureth the
captive, and the rich one who careth for the poor, and the just one who
secureth from the wrong doer the rights of the downtrodden, and happy the
trustee who observeth that which the Ordainer, the Ancient of Days hath
prescribed unto him.
