The responsibility of young believers is very great, as they must not only
fit themselves to inherit the work of the older Baha'is and carry on the
affairs of the Cause in general, but the world which lies ahead of them--as
promised by Baha'u'llah--will be a world chastened by its sufferings, ready
to listen to His Divine Message at last; and consequently a very high
character will be expected of the exponents of such a religion. To deepen
their knowledge, to perfect themselves in the Baha'i standards of virtue
and upright conduct, should be the paramount duty of every young Baha'i.
