With "The Dawn-Breakers" in your possession you
could also arrange interesting stories about the early days of the Movement
which the children would like to hear. There are also stories about the life of
Christ, Muhammad and the other prophets which if told to the children will
break down any religious prejudice they may have learned from older people of
little understanding.
Such stories regarding the life of different prophets
together with their sayings will also be useful to better understand the
literature of the Cause for there is constant reference to them. It is however
the work of experienced people to bring together such materials and make of
them interesting text books for the children.
The Cause will gradually produce people who would answer
these needs. It is only a question of time. What we should strive to do is to
stimulate different individuals who have the talent to attempt the task. (From
a letter dated 19 October 1932 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to a Local
Spiritual Assembly and a State Teaching Committee; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. I, Baha’i Education)
