The spirit of the hour is teaching on the Home Fronts. Its
goal can only be won by a new spirit of dedication and consecration on the part
of the Friends at home. Miraculous victories are being won, in the difficult
virgin areas, because the pioneers have consecrated their lives to the Noble
Mission they have embarked upon. The Friends at home must display this same
consecration and dedication. Never must they let a day pass, without teaching
some soul, hoping that Bahá’u’lláh will cause each seed to grow. The Friends
should seek pure souls, gain their confidence and then teach that person
carefully until he becomes a Bahá’í—and then nurture him until he becomes a
firm and active supporter of the Faith. - Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 10 June 1956 written
on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; ‘Messages to Canada’)
