The news of the co-operation of the Bahá'í young men and women
in Montreal, their establishment of a group for study and discussion, the sane
and sober expression of their methods as expressed in the programme you had
enclosed, and their thoughtful and enthusiastic outlook upon the future, all
these have helped to create the liveliest hopes and the deepest satisfaction in
the heart of our Guardian. It is indeed with no little pleasure that he
welcomes the active co-operation of his young friends in Montreal, and he
sincerely trusts that with an adequate study of the proper teachings and their
spiritual significance coupled with a sufficient knowledge of the problems and
perplexities that the world is beset with, you will be able to render great
services to the Cause and therefore to humanity.
