The Guardian was delighted to hear of your youth group. The
children who are trained in the world-embracing teachings of Bahá'u'lláh cannot
but grow up to be a truly 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 Bahá'í
teachings.

Effendi to the Bahá'ís of Hobart, Australia; The Compilation of Compilations,
