The National Spiritual Assembly or the Teaching Committees
responsible for the selection of these teachers should bear in mind that their
choice must depend, not only on the knowledge or grasp of the teachings on the
part of the teachers, but primarily upon their pure spirit and their true love
for the Cause, and their capacity to convey that spirit and love to others.
...What wonderful results will soon be witnessed in the areas under your
jurisdiction if you devise ways and means to ensure, as far as circumstances
permit, that the travelling teachers you are encouraging to circulate among the
friends will all be of the standard called for in these quotations -- pure and
sanctified souls, with nothing but true devotion and self-sacrifice motivating
them in their services to God's Holy Cause....

the Masses)
