Ms. Leblanc begins by stating that peace in the world will come from equality and this will lead to a more mature civilization. The Bahá'í community must be in the forefront of this movement and courage to face the challenge is the first step. She uses a story told by Inuits in the Yukon to emphasize the spirit of oneness that comes from sacrifice and listening to the heart. Ms. Leblanc quotes from The Bahá'í Sacred Writings and uses the example of the stages of growth of the tree, to emphasize the need for partnership of men and women. She concludes by stating that the Bahá'í community is small, but backed by the power of Bahá'u'lláh it is more than adequate to meet the challenges that confront it.
