The Guardian feels that a sound knowledge of history, including religious
history, and also of social and economic subjects, is of great help in teaching
the Cause to intelligent people; as to what subjects within the Faith you
should concentrate on he feels that the young Bahá’ís should gain a mastery
of such books as the “Gleanings”, “The Dawn-Breakers”, “God Passes By”, the
“Íqán”, “Some Answered Questions” and the more important Tablets. All
aspects of the Faith should be deeply studied—and … they need to know
more about the Administration.
