He was very happy to see that it was possible for so many to attend this
Youth Meeting; and he trusts that the study of the Teachings together, and
the spiritual interchange of thought among you on that occasion will cause
you to devote your lives even more single-mindedly to the Faith of
Baha'u'llah and its requirements; and that you will each inspire the
friends in your homes to further study, a closer unity and increased
activity.

LETTER OF 14 MARCH 1952

14 March 1952

...he urges you to devote as much of your time as possible to the actual
teaching work rather than writing on technical or theoretical subjects,
especially in relation to the Faith, because the Baha'i attitude in detail

do so would be premature. This does not mean that you should not make the
best possible use of the manuscript you sent him, but he would not advise
you to devote much time to a similar work in the immediate future.

To the Baha'i Youth of Germany Who were present on Annual World Youth Day.

He hopes that each one who was present carried away with him a new
strength and resolve to do all in his power to teach, and attract new
souls to the Cause of God.
