Dear Bahá'í Friends:
| |
2 |
Your loving message, addressed to our beloved Guardian,
brought him great joy, and he has instructed me to answer
you on his behalf.
| |
3 |
We all know how dark, and spiritually dead, the world is
today, and how desperately it stands in need of spiritual
guidance. The Bahá'ís alone, through the Message of
Bahá'u'lláh, hold the key to the solution of humanity's ills,
and as much of the tremendous work which lies ahead will
perforce have to be undertaken by young people, he
attaches great importance to the activities of Bahá'í Youth
everywhere.

He hopes you will all study deeply the teachings, as this
alone will give you the foundation you need for your
services to the Faith. You should also make every effort to
distinguish your lives from those of other young people of
your generation, and thus, by the display of Bahá'í virtues
and morals, attract the interest and esteem of others.

5 |
You may be sure that his loving prayers will be offered for
your guidance and protection in the Holy Shrines....

Dearly-beloved friends:

I was so pleased and thankful to receive your most
welcome message, and to learn of the resumption of your
activities to which I attach the utmost importance. I will
pray for your success from the depths of my heart, and urge
you to get in touch, as soon as possible, with the Bahá'í
Youth in various parts of the world, and to strengthen the
bonds that unite you to them, and to work in close
collaboration and under the supervision of your national
assembly as soon as it is elected. May the Beloved bless,
sustain, and guide you at all times, and crown your
activities with signal success.
