The youthful and eager workers for the Cause in Montreal
occupy a warm place in my heart. I will remember their hopes, their plans,
their activities in my hours of prayer at the Holy Shrines. I urge them to
study profoundly the revealed utterances of Bahá’u’lláh and the discourses of
‘Abdu’l-Bahá and not to rely unduly on the representation and interpretation of
the Teachings given by the Bahá’í speakers and teachers.
- Shoghi Effendi (From
a letter dated 20 March 1929 to an individual believer; ‘Messages to Canada’)
