to listen to His Divine Message at last; and consequently a very high
character will be expected of the exponents of such a religion. To deepen

and upright conduct, should be the paramount duty of every young Baha'i.

He was very happy to see how active and devoted the young Baha'is of India
are. The interests of our beloved Faith require that the youth in
particular exert every effort to spread it, while at the same time
deepening their own knowledge of the Teachings and perfecting their
private lives in accordance with the standards of conduct laid down by
Baha'u'llah.

Upon the present generation of youth will devolve the weighty task of

devote their lives to the supreme objective of perfecting themselves as
members in Baha'u'llah's divine World Order.

The Guardian hopes that during the coming year an ever-increasing number

The Guardian feels that the role of Baha'i youth in these days is becoming
increasingly important, and that your Committee, as well as all local
youth committees, should do all in your power to encourage the Baha'i
young people to a greater activity and sense of responsibility. In the
field of teaching, in pioneer service and settlement, in the
administration of the Cause, they must increasingly t
