195: TEACHING (DIRECT)

"He approves of your desire to teach the principles of the Faith through

radio. But he urges you to do all you can to always, however small the

reference you are able to make to it may be, clearly identify or associate

what you are giving out with Baha'u'llah. The time is too short now for us

Baha'is to be able to first educate humanity and then tell it that the

source is this new World Faith. For their own spiritual protection people

must hear of the name Baha'i--then, if they turn blindly away they cannot

excuse themselves by saying they never even knew it existed! For dark days

seem still ahead of the world, and outside this Divine Refuge the people

will not, we firmly believe, find inner conviction, peace and security. So

they have a right to at least hear of the Cause as such."
