Without minimizing
the serious situation facing a world heedless of Baha'u'llah's admonitions, it
must be remembered that He also refers to the Golden Age of civilization to
come. The House of Justice hopes that Baha'i teachers and parents will do their
utmost to encourage the children to study the explanations of the beloved
Guardian about the twin processes at work in the world -- the steady growth of
the Faith, and the devastating forces of disintegration assailing the outworn
institutions of present-day society.

Universal House of Justice to an individual believer, 29 December 1981;
