He was deeply gratified to hear that the friends are attaching such a
great importance to the teaching and training of Bahá’í children. The
education of the youth is, undoubtedly, of paramount importance as it serves to
deepen their understanding of the Cause and to canalize their energies along
the most profitable lines. Inasmuch, however, as the national expenses of the
Cause in America are daily increasing, the members of your Committee should be
very careful not to extend beyond their financial resources the sphere of their
activities. The plans your Committee has made should not develop to such an
extent as to hamper the progress of the Temple work.
