O thou who gazest upon the Kingdom of God!

93 |
Thy letter was received and we note that thou art engaged in teaching the
children of the believers, that these tender little ones have been learning the
Hidden Words and the prayers and what it meaneth to be a Bahá'í.

The instruction of these children is even as the work of a loving gardener
who tendeth his young plants in the flowering fields of the All-Glorious.
There is no doubt that it will yield the desired results; especially is this
true of instruction as to Bahá'í obligations and Bahá'í conduct, for the
little children must needs be made aware in their very heart and soul that
"Bahá'í" is not just a name but a truth. Every child must be trained in the
things of the spirit, so that he may embody all the virtues and become a source
of glory to the Cause of God. Otherwise, the mere word "Bahá'í", if it yield
no fruit, will come to nothing.

95 |
Strive then to the best of thine ability to let these children know that a
Bahá'í is one who embodieth all the perfections, that he must shine out like
a lighted taper -- not be darkness upon darkness and yet bear the name
"Bahá'í".

Name thou this school the Bahá'í Sunday School.
