As to thy question regarding the education of
children: it behoveth thee to nurture them at the breast of
the love of God, and urge them onward to the things of
the spirit, that they may turn their faces unto God; that
their ways may conform to the rules of good conduct
and their character be second to none; that they make
their own all the graces and praiseworthy qualities of
humankind; acquire a sound knowledge of the various
branches of learning, so that from the very beginning of
life they may become spiritual beings, dwellers in the
Kingdom, enamoured of the sweet breaths of holiness,
and may receive an education religious, spiritual, and of
the Heavenly Realm. Verily will I call upon God to grant
them a happy outcome in this.
