Indeed the Guardian wrote of the Baha'i youth that it is
they 'who can contribute so decisively to the virility, the purity, and the
driving force of the life of the Baha'i community, and upon whom must depend
the future orientation of its destiny, and the complete unfoldment of the
potentialities with which God has endowed it’.

Justice, from a letter dated June 10,
