Among the greatest of all services that can possibly be rendered by man to
Almighty God is the education and training of children, young plants of the
Abhá Paradise, so that these children, fostered by grace in the way of
salvation, growing like pearls of divine bounty in the shell of education, will
one day bejewel the crown of abiding glory.

It is, however, very difficult to undertake this service, even harder to
succeed in it. I hope that thou wilt acquit thyself well in this most
important of tasks, and successfully carry the day, and become an ensign of
God's abounding grace; that these children, reared one and all in the holy
Teachings, will develop natures like unto the sweet airs that blow across the
gardens of the All-Glorious, and will waft their fragrance around the world.
