John Eichenauer: the youngest
pioneer as of 1939 |
The believers, especially the young ones, should always
remember that the first thing the non-Bahá'ís are going to notice in us is our
character; therefore, the highest standard of moral conduct and courtesy should
be shown forth by the youth, in order to attract the hearts of other people,
and, through arousing their admiration, create in them a desire to know more
about our beloved Faith, and eventually to arise to serve it.
(From a letter
dated 31 May 1957 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, ‘The Light of Divine
Guidance vol. II’)
