The details of such matters are within the discretion of
each National Spiritual Assembly to decide in the light of certain fundamental
principles and in the context of the situation in each country.
In deciding such matter you should bear in mind not only the
effectiveness of the project from the teaching point of view, but also its
bearing upon the dignity of the Faith. Any leaflet used in such a way should be
brief, contain the minimum of quotations from the Sacred Writings, and be
designed primarily to arouse the interest of the reader so that he will request
more information and should not, at that stage, be intended to convince or
convert the reader.
