Letter of 26 December 1946
National Youth Committee
Dear Bahá'í Sister,
| |
| 1 |
Your letter of September 19th was received, and our beloved
Guardian has instructed me to answer it on his behalf, and to
congratulate you and the other members of your committee on
the excellent first issue of your Bahá'í Youth Bulletin.

This is an important new undertaking, and must be established
as a firm innovation on the part of the British Bahá'í community.
He hopes it will gradually become the means of interesting and
attracting many new souls to the Faith.

In fact the Youth work everywhere in the Bahá'í World is
dear to his heart, and he attaches great importance to it. The
young people, who will inevitably grow up to shoulder all the
work of the Cause, are really its hope, and should be one of the
most active factors in its propagation. Through their courageous
adherence to the high moral and ethical standards set out by
Bahá'u'lláh, and through gaining a mastery of His many,
diversified, and profound teachings, they can shape, to a great
extent, the development and aid in the rapid expansion of their
beloved Faith in the various countries in which they labour.
They should be made to realise their responsibility is heavy and
their privilege very precious.

He wishes to assure you and all the other members of the
National Youth Committee, of his most loving prayers for your
progress, and for the success of the work you have so
enthusiastically and devotedly undertaken....

[From the Guardian:]
May the Beloved bless abundantly the work which your Committee
has so nobly initiated, remove all obstacles from your path, aid you to
realise every hope you cherish, and carry out every plan you conceive,
for the furtherance of the interests of our beloved Faith and of its God-given
institutions.
