In the pursuit of their major task their function is to preserve the identity of the Cause and the purity of the mission of Bahá’u’lláh.

Moreover he was adviser-general to all American officials of any and every grade and function in Europe; and much as some of these gentlemen contemned him, they each and all instinctively demanded his guidance in every matter of importance.
What can teachers do to influence the education which children have received or are getting outside of school? What differences in action among the children in your class do you attribute to differences in original nature? What to differences in education? Attention is a function of consciousness. Wherever consciousness is, attention must perforce be present. One cannot exist without the other.
The deformity of triumph overspread that narrow brow. All the demonstrations of horror which a satisfied face can afford were there. Javert was in heaven at that moment.

In man and the higher Vertebrates the stomach itself is the chief organ of digestion, and is especially occupied with the solution of the food; this is not the case in many of the lower Vertebrates, which have no stomach, and discharge its function by a part of the gut farther on.
The heart of our difficulty is partly that we have shifted on to the wrong shoulders the central function of teaching children; secondly, that we have so lost the idea of what the teaching of the Church is, and the meaning of religious education, that we are considered by the public to be unreasonable and uncompromising people if we are not disposed to admit that the County Councils can settle the standard of sufficient religious knowledge for everybody."
