One of the friends hath sent us a letter regarding the school at
I shqábád, to the effect that, praised be God, the friends there are now
working hard to get the school in order, and have appointed teachers well
qualified for their task, and that from this time forward the greatest care
will be devoted to the supervision and management of the school.
|
It is likewise my hope that the favours and bestowals of God, the
bountiful King, will encompass you, so that the friends may come to excel the
others in all things.
|
One of the most important of undertakings is the education of children,
for success and prosperity depend upon service to and worship of God, the Holy,
the All-Glorified.
|
Among the greatest of all great services is the education of children, and
promotion of the various sciences, crafts and arts. Praised be God, ye are now
exerting strenuous efforts toward this end. The more ye persevere in this most
important task, the more will ye witness the confirmations of God, to such a
degree that ye yourselves will be astonished.
|
This verily is a matter beyond all doubt, a pledge that shall certainly be
redeemed.

(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian) [68]
