My wish is that these children should receive a Bahá’í
education, so that they may progress both here and in the Kingdom, and rejoice thy
heart.
In a time to come, morals will degenerate to an extreme
degree. It is essential that children be reared in the Bahá’í way, that they
may find happiness both in this world and the next. If not, they shall be beset
by sorrows and troubles, for human happiness is founded upon spiritual
behaviour. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-baha)
