Letter of 7 June 1946
National Youth Committee
Dear Bahá'í Sister,
| |
| 1 |
Your letter dated May 16th and written on behalf of the
National Youth Committee, was received, and the beloved
Guardian has instructed me to answer it on his behalf.

He is very happy to see that the Bahá'í Youth of the British
Isles are now organised and working with enthusiasm for the
spread of the Faith there. He feels that they have a great and
important rôle to play during the next few years in fulfilling the
objectives of the Six Year Plan.

Young people, being, for the most part, freer than the older
believers, are in a position to arise as pioneers and move to new
towns as settlers. A great number of the pioneers in America,
who left their native cities, and often their native land, in order
to fulfil the Seven Year Plan, were young people--some of them
so young that the Spiritual Assemblies they helped to establish
they were themselves not yet old enough to be elected to!

The Guardian has enjoyed very much meeting Capt. Philip
Hainsworth+, who had the unique privilege of being in Haifa
for over a month, and he feels sure that upon his return to
England he will lend great impetus to both the Youth and
teaching work.

He heartily approves of your "Youth Bulletin" project and
urges you to place special emphasis on articles that are of
pertinent interest to young people, such as those dealing with the
economic, social and moral aspects of society.
| |
| 6 |
Assuring you, and all the members of your Committee, of his
loving prayers for the success of your labours....

[From the Guardian:]
May the Beloved bless your meritorious endeavours, guide every
step you take in the path of service, aid you to extend the range of your
activities, and enable you to promote, by every means in your power,
and in a most effective manner, the vital interests of a Plan with which
the immediate destinies of the members of the English Bahá'í
Community, both young and old, are so inextricably interwoven.
