The Sunday
school for the children in which the Tablets and Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh are
read, and the Word of God is recited for the children is indeed a blessed
thing. Thou must certainly continue this organized activity without cessation,
and attach importance to it, so that day by day it may grow and be quickened
with the breaths of the Holy Spirit. If this activity is well organized, rest
thou assured that it will yield great results. Firmness and steadfastness,
however, are necessary, otherwise it will continue for
some time, but later be gradually forgotten. Perseverance is an essential
condition. In every project firmness and steadfastness will undoubtedly lead to
good results; otherwise it will exist for some days, and then be discontinued.
