The Guardian was delighted to hear of your youth group. The children who are trained in the world-embracing teachings of Baha’u’llah cannot but grow up to be a truly a new race of men. He hopes these young people will prepare themselves for the great task which will face them in the future, that of helping to rebuild the world with the aid and inspiration of the Baha'i teachings.
