If the younger Baha’i generation, in whom Shoghi Effendi has
great hopes, take the pain of studying the Cause deeply and thoroughly, read
its history, find its underlying principles and become both well informed and
energetic, they surely can achieve a great deal. It is upon their shoulders
that the Master has laid the tremendous work of teaching. They are the ones to
raise the call of the Kingdom and arouse the people from slumber. If they fail
the Cause is doomed to stagnation.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 26 April 1923 written
on behalf of Shoghi Effendi; ‘Dawn of a New Day’)
