--Issue No. 3 March 1925:
By unanimous vote of the National Spiritual Assembly, the annual Convention will this year be held at Green Acre, Eliot, Maine, on July 6th, 7th and 8th.
By unanimous vote of the National Spiritual Assembly, the annual Convention will this year be held at Green Acre, Eliot, Maine, on July 6th, 7th and 8th.
Two circumstances combine to make the National Convention
this year especially important, -- the fact that it is to be held in an
environment so definitely blessed by ‘Abdu’l-Baha, so fully consecrated to a
permanent service of the Baha’i ideals, and recently referred to in such
significant words by the Guardian of the Cause; and secondly the fact that the
date has been advanced from Ridvan to a period when it will be possible for a
far greater number of the friends to be present throughout the sessions.
In a later News Letter will be given the essential details
both as to the connection between Green Acre and the Baha’i Cause and
concerning the arrangements which are available at Green Acre for the
hospitality of delegates and friends during the Convention. The preliminary
announcement is made at this time in order that all the believers, and
especially those who live at a distance, may plan their summer vacations so as
to include Green Acre for at least the period of July 6th, 7th and 8th. May we
not all hope that the Convention of 1925 will be an impressive evidence of the
power of the Baha’i Movement in this continent?
