The Guardian values the hymns that you are so beautifully
composing. They certainly contain the realities of the Faith, and will indeed
help you to give the Message to the young ones. It is the music which assists
us to affect the human spirit; it is an important means which helps us to
communicate with the soul. The Guardian hopes that through this assistance you
will give the Message to the people, and will attract their hearts.
