Among the greatest of all
services that can possibly be rendered by man to Almighty God is the education
and training of children, young plants of the Abhá Paradise, so that these
children, fostered by grace in the way of salvation, growing like pearls of divine
bounty in the shell of education, will one day bejewel the crown of abiding
glory.
It is, however, very difficult
to undertake this service, even harder to succeed in it.
