Such a rectitude of conduct must manifest itself, with
ever-increasing potency, in every verdict which the elected representatives of
the Bahá’í community, in whatever capacity they may find themselves, may be
called upon to pronounce. It must be constantly reflected in the business
dealings of all its members, in their domestic lives, in all manner of
employment, and in any service they may, in the future, render their government
or people.

‘The Advent of the Divine Justice’)
