Archival Collection of Talks on Various Bahá'í Subjects

The Power of Divine Assistance

1985

Mr. Dunbar begins by telling of his own Bahá’í youth and meeting an “‘Abdu’l-Bahá’í” by the name of Willard Hatch. Mr. Hatch told him a story of his encounter with the Master in Oakland in 1912. He told the youth of Bahá’u’lláh’s gift to them of pioneering and how we must place “teaching in the forefront of all our thoughts”. “We only live once. We are only young once.” Now is the time to focus on victory during the Holy Year called by the Universal House of Justice. “To the degree that the love of Bahá’u’lláh is burning in our own hearts will we effect the hearts of the listeners.” Urges youth to gather the messages of the House addressed to them and study them. Emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and unity when serving on Local Spiritual Assemblies.
