'A pastor asked a little girl what she thought of her first experience in a meeting of 'holy rollers,' where they praised the Lord for hours at a time. 'The music was nice,' she said, 'but the commercial was too long.'' (1:25)

If one friend feels love for another, he will wish to say so. Though he knows that the friend is aware that he loves him, he will still wish to say so...God knows the wishes of all hearts, but the impulse to pray is a natural one, springing from man's love to God... (1:26)

If this love and desire are lacking, it is useless to try and force them. Words without love mean nothing. (1:27)

If a person talks to you as an unpleasant duty, with no love or pleasure in his meeting with you, do you wish to converse with him?15 'Abdu'l-Baha (1:28)
