He feels that you should do your utmost to call the
attention of the friends to these large things and real triumphs, and away from
their personal differences and petty pre-occupations. Now is certainly not the
time for any man to think of himself, or busy himself with the weaknesses of
his brother; but, rather each and every Bahá'í must concentrate in the tasks
ahead and be reborn in the service of Bahá'u'lláh.
(From a letter written on
behalf of the Guardian to the Area National Teaching Committee (USA), July 17,
1950; Bahá'í News, October 1970)
