The unsophisticated people of the world -- and they form the
large majority of its population -- have the same right to know of the Cause of
God as others. When the friends are teaching the Word of God they should be
careful to give the Message in the same simplicity as it is enunciated in our
Teachings. In their contacts they must show genuine and divine love. The heart
of an unlettered soul is extremely sensitive; any trace of prejudice on the
part of the pioneer or teacher is immediately sensed.
