The Power of Divine Assistance
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.
