"Regarding your question about the need for greater unity among the
friends, there is no doubt that this is so, and the Guardian feels that
one of the chief instruments for promoting it is to teach the Baha'is
themselves, in classes and through precepts, that love of God, and
consequently of men, is the essential foundation of every religion, our
own included. A greater degree of love will produce a greater unity,
because it enables people to bear with each other, to be patient and
forgiving."
