With regard to your activities in connection with the
training and education of Bahá’í children: needless to tell you what a vital
importance the Guardian attaches to such activities, on which so much of the
strength, welfare and growth of the Community must necessarily depend. What a
more sacred privilege, and also what a weightier responsibility than the task
of rearing up the new generation of believers, and of inculcating into their
youthful and receptive minds the principles and teachings of the Cause, and of
thus preparing them to fully assume, and properly discharge the weighty
responsibilities and obligations of their future life in the Bahá’í Community.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 28 April 1939 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi;
