Organizing the Writings
From Bahai9
Praise of organizing the Writings[edit]
Gathering the verses of God into excellent order[edit]
"Spiritual souls will assuredly emerge from behind the veil of divine protection who will gather together the tokens and verses of God and put them into the most excellent order."
- (Bahá'u'lláh, cited in Shoghi Effendi's 1954 Naw-Ruz Message to the Baha'is of the East, translated from the Persian; quoted in Lights of Guidance, no. 327)
Comprehensive indexing of the Writings and Teachings of great interest to Research Department[edit]
"Any comprehensive indexing of the Writings and Teachings, of course, would be of great interest to our Research Department, since it has been assigned the task of classifying the texts for study, and, as called for, for application by the House of Justice of these texts to the many needs of the Faith...We appreciate very deeply the devotion manifest in your decades of labor for the Cause, a labor of love which indeed has had its own rewards as you indicate, for you have been able to undertake a thorough study of the Words of the Prophet of God for this day..."
- (Research Department, cited in Terry, Peter. Marian Crist Lippitt: Short Biographical Monograph)
