Pure souls, such as Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, upon him be the Glory of God, spend
their nights and days in demonstrating the truth of the Revelation, by
adducing conclusive and brilliant proofs and expanding the verities of the
Faith, by lifting the veils, promoting the religion of God and spreading
His fragrances.

(From a Tablet, translated from the Persian) [30]

From Letters Written on Behalf of Shoghi Effendi

31: "We had heard through various channels the wonderful way your children
had..."

We had heard through various channels the wonderful way your children had
grown to speak about the Cause in public. Shoghi Effendi's hope is that
they will, the three of them, become able and devoted speakers on the
Cause and subjects akin to it. To do this properly they will need a firm
foundation of scientific and literary training which fortunately they are
obtaining. It is just as important for the Baha'i young boys and girls to
become properly educated in colleges of high standing as it is to be
spiritually developed. The mental as well as the spiritual side of the
youth has to be developed before he can serve the Cause efficiently.

(28 November 1926 to an individual believer) [31]

32: "The university training which you are receiving at present will be of

The university training which you are receiving at present will be of
immense help to you in your efforts to present the Message in intellectual
circles. In these days when people are so sceptical about religion and
look with so much contempt towards religious organizations and movements,
there seems to be more need than ever for our young Baha'is to be well
equipped intellectually, so that they may be in a position to present the
Message in a befitting way, and in a manner that would convince every
unbiased observer of the effectiveness and power of the Teachings.

(5 May 1934 to an individual believer) [32]

Young men and women in the Faith must be deep and thoughtful scholars of
its teachings, so that they can teach in a way that will convince people
that all the problems facing them have a remedy. They must grasp the
Administration, so that they can wisely and efficiently administer the
ever-growing affairs of the Cause; and they must exemplify the Baha'i way
of living. Al
