Shoghi Effendi was very glad to read it and obtain firsthand
information as to the way the young people in Montreal have succeeded to
attract many souls and inspire them with the spirit of service to our beloved
Faith. Once the youth learns that this Cause is their Cause, and that through
it they can ensure their future social tranquillity and spiritual progress,
then they will arise and consecrate their life to the promotion of this Faith.
And as you clearly state in your report, no one can awaken the youth of the
world to a consciousness of this road to salvation except from their own
numbers—youths already inspired with the Bahá’í spirit.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 1
April 1932 1929 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer;
‘Messages to Canada’)
