The Master used to attach much
importance to the learning by heart of the Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh and the Báb.
During His days it was a usual work of the children of the household to learn
Tablets by heart, now, however, those children are grown up and do not have time
for such a thing. But the practice is most useful to implant the ideas and
spirit those words contain into the mind of the children.
