The third Glad-Tidings
concerneth the study of divers languages. This decree hath formerly streamed
forth from the Pen of the Most High: It behoveth the sovereigns of the
world - may God assist them - or the ministers of the earth to take counsel
together and to adopt one of the existing languages or a new one to be
taught to children in schools throughout the world, and likewise one script.
Thus the whole earth will come to be regarded as one country. Well is
it with him who hearkeneth unto His Call and observeth that whereunto
he is bidden by God, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.
(Bahá'u'lláh:
Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Page: 22)
