Priorities
The Guardian attaches the greatest importance to your work; and is delighted to see that you are carrying on your various projects with so much enthusiasm and devotion. It would be ideal if an offer, such as that made, could be accepted; but as the Cause has so many burdens to bear at this time, we are forced to do as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said -- give up the important for the most important.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 16 Sultan 182 B.E.
The reason Bahá’u’lláh forbade drinking alcoholic beverages is because it is bad for the health, more particularly for the mind. Of course you can point this out to Mr. ... and Mr. ... and you can also pray that they will themselves feel the urge to give it up; but these are habits each individual should seek to surmount for his own good.
