36: "He was very happy to hear from you, and to see with what keen

He was very happy to hear from you, and to see with what keen appreciation
and interest you are studying the teachings of Baha'u'llah. One could
truly say that the longer one studies them, the more one finds in them.
They are the very essence from which thinkers and scientists and
humanitarians of the future will derive inspiration and guidance for their
work.
(10 December 1942 to a Baha'i summer school) [36]
37: "Regarding the advice you requested from him concerning what studies
you..."
Regarding the advice you requested from him concerning what studies you
should specialize in with a view to teaching in the future: He would
suggest either History, Economics or Sociology, as these are not only
fields in which Baha'is take a great interest but also cover subjects
which our teachings cast an entirely new light upon. Your knowledge would
be of use to the Cause in teaching it in the future, and you could also
perhaps introduce the Baha'i ideas into your lectures as an educator.
(13 March 1944 to an individual believer) [37]
