As the suffering and unrest afflicting humanity increase,
and moral restraints are one by one abolished, the Baha'is must learn to obtain,
through study and prayer, a clearer vision of their mission, earnestly seek to
purge their lives of the influences of laxity and promiscuity characterizing
modern society, and insure that the fair name and integrity of the Faith they
serve and love so dearly remain unstained and unsullied." - The Universal
House of Justice (From a letter dated May 22, 1966 to two believers;
compilation: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
