"It is incumbent upon thee to be firm in the Covenant, and to stand up and serve the Religion of God. Verily, this is the magnet of confirmation and as sistance, the attracter of all success, and the leader of hosts of gifts." Abdul Baha.

Jenabe Fazel as reported through the Diary Cards of “Mirza Ahmad Sohrab:
On train to St. Paul, Yinnesota, Nov. 25, 1920.
While the whole United States is offering their Thanksgiving in Temples, Churches and homes, Jenabe Fazel is travelling in the Path of God and thinking of the Ideals of the Kingdom. This morning he spent the time in his own room answering letters and preparing for the long journey to St. Panl. At 1 o'clock Mrs. Barbee arrived and took him to the Union Station. He wished the friends to start their meetings with a new vigor and a fresh zeal: - so that the souls may become attracted and attain to the knowledge of Truth. As he took his seat and dade a touching farewell to irs, Barbes -- the train pulling out of the station, he said: "Praise be to God that the Powers of Abdul Baha have been manifest from the beginning of this trip. When people travel for the Cause, they must have no other thoughts save those which will promote the principles of the Movement. The teachings of the Bahai Movement discourage 'paternalism,' but ennobles'fraternalism'. This is the age of spiritual democracy. Nations through infinite struggles have achieved Democracy in government. Today the toilers of the earth are seething with unrest to introduce Democracy in business and industries. The Bahais are working hard in all parts of the world to bring Democracy in Religion. This is the Supreme Ideal of the friends of God. Despotism must be banished from the world of religion. The slogan is: 'No paternalism but fraternalism.' The Panai brotherhood and sisterhood must conquer the world; up with knowledge; down with ignorance; down with fear, up with courage. Baha'o'llah is our heavenly Father; Abdul Eana is our Divine Guide and we are all humble servants and maid-servants. Our emblem is that of service and evanescence; our light is that of forgiveness; our path is that of self-abne@gation; our standard is that of deeds and our inspiration comes from the Holy Utterances."
St. Paul Hotel, St. Paul, Mim., Nov.26, '20. Although the train was about one hour late, Dr. Woolson was waiting patiently for the arrival of Jenabe Fazel and when he descended from the train he was welcomed with a warm and loving embrace. The reporters and photographers had come to the station and they took the photographs of the teacher from the rest, and they followed him to the hotel to get their interview. St. Paul Dispatch published a nice account. The President of the Spiritualists called and was most genuine in his reception. He has arranged for two meetings in his hall. Handbills containing the list of the lectures to be delivered in different places with dates are published and spread all over the city. The street cars have large posters that can be read even by the pedestrians. Every arrangement is made with spiritual provision and the harvest will be very great indeed. At 5 o'clock Dr. Woolson came with his car and took Jenabe to his home for dinner. Dr. is an insatiable worker and a strong Bahai. The same can be said about his wonderful wife with greater emphasis. Their son "Farhad" who was a babe when Abdul Baha was here is a strong

Bahai boy. In the evening 2 spiritual gathering was held. Many of the friends from Minneapolis had come and so Jenabe spoke about his pleasure at meeting them and gave them the greeting of the Beloved. It was a very beautiful gathering of heart to heart talk; everybody asking questions, because they realized the great Teacher was at last in their midst. It was about half past eleven when he returned to the hotel. St. Paul, Minnesota, November 27, 1920.
St. Paul is giving a glorious spiritual enthusiasm to Jenabe Fazel. Since last year when the writer was here there has been a marvelous growth. The afternoon meeting was in the Public Library. To the surprise of Dr. and Mrs. Woolson the Hail was so crowded that the people were standing all around and the entrance was packed with men and women eager to get a seat. More than one hundred people were disappointed and roamed around the corridor, The subject was "The Master Key to Self Mastery is self-forgetfulness." He dealt with it indeed ina masterful way and one could see in the faces of the audience that they were enjoying it. He said: "The master key is the knowledge of God; Knowledge gives love; love brings Service; service bestows spirituality; spirituality teaches humility; humility grants self-forgetfulness and self~forgetfulness in this age is obtainable only by the inculcation of universal conscience, universal fellowship and international mind." There were many people who were writing down what the teacher taught. It was a glowing meeting. Mrs. Long of Pine City had especially come to meet Jenabe and arrange for meetings in her town. Dinner was served in the ‘home of Dr. Woolson and many intimate talks about the Cause and the days when Abdul Baha was in America were carried on. The lecture in the evening was on the "Bahai Movement and its universal Principles", in Dyer's Music Hall. Here also a large audience greeted the Beloved Teacher and every one listened with the greatest delight. "For years," a man said afterwards "I have been thinking that Brotherhood will not be realized without a universal religion and a universal language. I am happy that you have brought that conception to the world." The spirit of Baha'o'llah is conquering.
St. Paul Hotel, St. Paul, Minn., Nov.. 28, 1920. The spirit of the Bahai Cause, its universality and sweetness is
spreading in the heart of this continent through Jenabe Fazel as never before. Like unto a conquering army successive victories are achieved. The talk this morning in the Dyer's Music Hall on the nine proofs for the recognition of the Manifestations of God was truly a gem. The audience gained such an amount of Spiritual knowledge. They were all very happy, and Dr. and Mrs. Yoolson gloriously joyous that such a blessing is vouchsafed. For luncheon Jenabe Fazel was the guest of Mrs. Schurmeir in her palatial residence. Her daughter and son-in-law were likewise present. Mrs. Schurmeir said that she had heard the Unitarian Minister of the city told some one that if he was not a Unitarian he would be then a Bahai. The luncheon was very lovely and the discussion centered around the Cause. At three o'clock the guests of Mrs. Schurmeir arrived, quite a large number, and Jenabe Fazel was requested to talk on the history and the Principles of the Movement which he did with great effect and eloquence. All those who heard him were deeply interested. Mrs. Schurmeir is going to Santa Barbara, and if God wilis another meeting will be brought about. At 8 p.m., the meeting was held at the First Spiritualist Church and the subject was "The Fulfillment of the Prophecies of the Old and the New Testament in this Age." There were fully 400 present and to them it was like a fresh breath of the early dawn. The lecture was Striking and original as it showed one by one how the prophecies have come to pass in this day. One point must not pass unnoticed and that is, the excellent way that the T saching Committee is cooperating with all these Centres in sending them literature. For the first time in the Bahai Cause we have not only team work but co

-o
operation, of the most efficient and spiritual type. The Teaching Committee is
living up fully to its name. Every one who has heard Jenabe has received literature at the door. It makes one's heart glad to see the distribution of the Words
of God.
St. Paul Hotel, St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 29, 1920.
For the preSent the spiritual work of Jenabe Fazel in St. Paul is
brought to a close with wonderful results. Never in the history of St. Paul has the Bahai Movement had such a dignified publicity and such a presentation of the Cause before thousands of thinking men and women. At 10:30 a.m., the lecture on the "Ideals of the New Age" was given in the Vindsor Room of this hotel. Seekers had come from many parts and the Message was given with the utmost power and eloquence. Mr. Whitwell of the Spiritualist Church was present, and asked many questions. For luncheon Jenabe and Dr. and Mrs. Woolson were the guests of Mr. and irs, Whitwell, and while they sat around the table the spiritual problems were discussed with the greatest joy and unity. At 3 p.m., a fine talk was delivered on the "Physical and Spiritual Healing", in the Hall of the Public Library. This time again the Hall was simply jammed; people standing all around the room. They were the greatest demonstration that the hearts were hungry and they had come to receive the bread of Life and they did. At thse door Dr. Woolson and two others were systematically distributing literature. Dinner was served at Mrs. Woolson's, but before that Jenabe Fazel called on Mrs. Johnson, a Bahai who is sick in bed and could not come to the meetings. She was indeed most happy; her eyes became brighter and her spirits rose higher. At 8 p.m., in Minnehaha Hall Jenabe Fazel gave his most exalted talk on the "Seven Valleys -- a Journey of Soul". He really lifted up the spirits of the several hundred in the audience to the height Of vision and divine revelation. The talk was reported verbatim and will appear in the Spiritualist Majesty. He closed the meeting with a prayer in Persian and thus left his pure spirit behind. The pastor of the Church had not enough words to express his gratitude. Today so many people became attracted that they drew a number of Bahai books from the Library. The Library has a fine collection of the books given to it by Mrs. Johnson. Glory to Abdul Baha.
Nov. 30, 1920.
Vithout the Confirmation of Abdul Baha nothing is possible, nothing goes out right, but with His divine assistance, if the whole world is against you, your victories will be uninterrupted, your joy unalloyed, your mind caim and your Spirit at rest. Dr. Woolson came to the hotel in St. Paul and about 10:30 Jenabe Fazel started for Minneapolis arriving here half an hour later. He was taken directly to the Raddison Hall where he was going to Speak to the members of Xiwanis Club luncheon. Dr. Harper and a few others called and paid him a visit. Later the President of the Club conducted the teacher to his seat. After dinner he was introduced and a wonderful talk on the "New Persia", which was no other than the principles of the Bahai Movement was delivered. There were about 200 diners and when Jenabe got up from his seat to talk, they all arose like one man to welcome him. It Was an impressive sight! "The Bahai religion is the essence of all the religions; it is bigger than any religion, more universal than any state," he said. The afternoon was devoted to the interviews with the Tribune and the Journal and a few hours in Dr. Harper's office. This zlorious being has no other aim but the Cause, no other thought but to teach. He is centered in the love of Abdul Baha and Jenabe thinks he is a rare jewel in the crown of the kingdom of Abha. At 64 o'clock there Was another lecture at "Vomen's Rotary Club", at est Hotel. This was also at their dinner and Jenabe delivered his instructive talk on the Progress of Women of Persia. Every one was interested. Jenabe was asked not to speak on religion but he did nothing else and they all liked it and were enraptured. They
[Page 4]

asked many questions, especially a detailed description of the Teachings. In this Club women of all professions and business ars represented and they are wonderfully alive to the spirit of the-day. Their motto as I was told is: "If you have skill, apply it! the world must profit by it and, therefore, you." 2025 Sheridan Ave., S. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 1, 1929. Day by day Jenabe Fazel is gaining glorious victories over the hearts of the seekers and in every turn showing the fruits of love and humility. As Whitman says: "I am an acme of things accomplished, and I am an encloser of things to be." Jenabe illustrates this matter in himself, for whatever he does is the result of spiritual attainment and at the sams time an example for others. This morning Dr. Woolson came over from St. Paul and took Jenabe to South St. Paul to deliver a lecture at the Kiwanis Club luncheon. The broad and noble Mississippi was crossed ani its majestic sweep enjoyed. At South St. Paul they called at the bank where the President of Kiwanis Club is the head of the institution and he took them to the Club. There were about 100 present at the table, representatives of different trades and professions. Jenabe sat next to the President and he was introduced with the greatest love and reverence. Jenabe gave them a delightful talk interspersed with stories and a contrast between the old and the new regime in Persia, saying that before the appearance of Baha'o'llah there was laziness, prejudices and autocracy, while in the Bahai revelation we have work, tolerance and democracy. The two newspapers will give large space to his talk. At 5 o'clock Dr. Woolson brought Jenabe back to Minneapolis to attend the Bahai Feast in the house of Mr. Abdullah, a beautiful Syrian Bahai who became a believer when Abdul Baha was here, All the friends were invited, the tables were set and a royal and sumptuous feast was prepared. Jenabe Fazel spoke to them on duties of the Bahais and what they should perform in this glorious age. The dear believers were most happy and asked many questions. It was a spiritual and material feast prepared by Abdul Baha and his beloved ones. The sincerity and devotion of the believers impressed Jenabe Fazel very much. 2809 Stevens Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 2, 1920. Without any doubt this tour of Jenabe Fazel's for the purpose of diffusing the Fragrances of the Merciful throughout this Continent is the most significant and at the same time the most spiritual. It is a journey of love, in the kingdom of love, for the Cause of love and in the promotion of love. It is based upon the law of love and conducted according to the dictates of love. This morning Mr. Bates took Jenabe Fazel to St. Paul to speak before the members of Kiwanis Club. The luncheon was in the Athletic Club -- a most wonderful building costing a million and half -- fitted in the most luxurious manner. He Was taken around to show the warm tank, ths various gymnasiums, bowling alleys, and billiard rooms. Around the table there sat more than 200 persons of the most prominent members of industrial, banking and business institutions. Both in the beginning and the end of the talk every one got up and cheered the teacher from the East. It was a never to be forgotten scene. The lecture captured their imagination, hearts and minds. Then Jenabe was taken to a large shoe factory, going through all the departments. On his return to Minneapolis at 7 p.m., he spoke before 400 members of Business Women's Club. Their club room was a large beautiful Restaurant and the speaker had to stand in the centre of the Hall, now facing one group and then another. He spoke on the "Vhite Dawn of a New Age." They were all beside themselves with joy and flocked around Jenabe thanking him for his brilliant, spiritual talk. It was a triumph of the spirit. At 8:30 in St. Peter's Colored Church, Elliot and 22nd Streets, he gave a glorious talk on the "Brotherhood of Man". The minister was enraptured, saying with dancing eyes: "This is indeed the Gospel of Christ! Oh! how we have forgotten it! It is Truth. God spoke to us tonight through the mouth of this man! May God bless him! He gave us the fundamental realities of life."

He will become a Bahai. He is going to study the Bahai literature. Just think in one day how many hundreds were attracted to the Cause. In every meeting Bahai literature is distributed and people hungry for it. 2809 Stevens Ave., iinneapolis, Minn., Dec. 3, 1920. . In these sweet active days, the spirit is calm and the mind undisturoed; the power of the Center of the Covenant is manifest. We are worshipping Him in the temple of holiness, praying to Him at the altar of truth and present to Him the offering of our love. This morning at the above address, where Jenabe Fazel is being entertained by Mrs. Vilhelm and Mrs. Sielken, many of the real and steadfast gathered to hear him. They desired the subject of physical and spiritual healing and for more than one hour and a half the talk continued. It was essentially a celestial meeting, where heart spoke to heart and all the eyes turned to Abdul Baha. At 12 o'clock Mrs. Bates called and took Jenabe to the sweet, cozy apartment of Dr. Frink and Mrs. Frink. They have been married since May 2nd, and they are still intoxicated with the wine of love. Beautiful Bahai souls -- a pair of turtledoves -- cooing together in the language of love. A lovely dinner was served and Dr. Frink played for Jenabe on his violin some of the sweet pieces which were thoroughly enjoyed. At three there was a public meeting at the Mayor's Reception Roow in the Court House. The large Hall was comfortably filled. Rabbi Dienard was amongst the listeners. Two of the oldest men with long white beards were in the front seats. The lecture was on the "Ideals of the New Age" which are no other than those of Baha'o'llah. The audience listened breathlessly and joyously. Systematically literature is given at every one of these meetings. After this meeting Jenabe was taken to a department store and winter clothing, etc., were provided for him. For dinner he was taken out by the dear Dr. Harper. At 8 o'clock he spoke in the Jewish Synagogue of Minneapolis, just where Abdul Baha delivered His memorable address 8 years ago. Rabbi Dienard is a broad-minded man, cultured and learned. Dr. S. N. Dienard is also Editor of the weekly magazine "The American Jewish World" in which he had announced the meeting. Nearly 400 were present, a wonderful gathering of Jews and Gentiles -- with love and good fellowship. In his introduction he referred to the Cause as the unifier of the world and in harmony with all the Prophets and Messengers of the past. The fine lecture of Jenabe was reported fully by Miss Swain -- a sweet Bahai -- and will appear in the Jewish press, in all probability in full. After the talk all the "Jewish sisters and brothers" came forward and thanked the speaker for his illuminating exposition of truth. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 4, 1920. Every morning brings a blessing and every evening a happy contemplation of the spiritual events of the day. This morning a class of the friends attended the heavenly lessons of Jenabe Fazel. They had many questions on ressurection, on the science of numbers, astrology, cremation, and biblical prophecies. He answered each and all with that knowledge and courtesy that is born of the spirit. They were cheered and refreshed by the blowing of the Breeze of Truth from the Garden of Abdul Baha. At noon he was the guest at lunch by "Lunch Club." He was asked to speak on the “Ideals of the New Age". The hall was packed and people standing all around -- a wonderful gathering of men and women from important walks of life. Their guestions were answered and they were fully satisfied, No sooner this meeting “as over than Mr. Bates arrived on the scene and took Jenabe to the Public Library to speak on the "New Economic and Its Solution" before members of "Northwestern Shoe Travellers Association." Here as elsewhere he captured the hearts and his explanation of Abdul Baha's Plan of social justice brought forth i: stantaneous appreciation. There were many business men in the audience and one could see in their faces they enjoyed these divine subjects. wr. Bates is the President of this association and presided at the meeting. The dinner was served

at a Chinese Restaurant and there sat around the table nine of the friends of God.
Thers was music in the air, joy in the hsart and thankfulness in the spirits. The
lecture of the evening was in ths Thsosophicai Hall, 917 Marquette Avenue, on the
topic of "Self Mastery". There were at least three hundred present; people stood
up all during the taik and they listened with concentrated attention. It was a
glorious meeting full of enthusiasm and ardor. Miss Swain took down the talk and
I am sure many of the friends will read it later with profit. Thus the hours of
the day roll on in the mention of the Cause with the sweet fragrance of the flowers of the Kingdom. Ths friends are shining like unto the Stars. Literature
was given at the door to everyone.
2809 Stevens Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 5, 1920.
The last day in Minneapolis but not in Minnesota. Jenabe Fazel has been elated over the wonderful results of this glorious trip, for at every step the confirmations of Abdul Baha were witnessed with the eye of the Spirit. This morning the believers came to the apartment of Mrs. Wilhelm and from ten to twelve they had in reality a feast of truth. Jenabe gave them the recurrent cycles of the Manifestations of God as symbolized in the four seasons of the year and then they asked questions and received such answers that illumined their path of search. Mr. Bates arrived and took Jenabe to his apartment for dinner. Dr. and Mrs. Frink were also present and a delicious dinner was served with the utmost spirituality. At three o'clock a lecture was delivered on the Bahai Movement and its universal Principles before a crowded Hall in the Public Library. More than 250 were present and they listened to every word falling from the lips of the teacher with rapt attention. An American Indian has become very much attracted and many people have been following Jenabe from one meeting to another. It is wonderful to see how their faces are illumined with the rays of the Sun of Reality. At 6 p.m, Jenabe went to the First Spiritualist Church whose Minister he met in Lily Dale. Mr. Harold L. Bradford is a splendid man, full of sincerity and devotion. In this church he was entertained at dinner and talked with the trustees. By eight o'clock the Church was filled with several hundred souls, even the galleries were occupied. The ifinister iistead of reading his own prayers, read the 12 Basic Bahai Principles to the assembled audience and thus they were prepared to listen to the Message of "Seven Valleys". After the lecture every one received some literature and thus they will gain a greater understanding of the Cause. These were truly active days. The Cause has never had such a publicity in Minneapolis and now the friends have a splendid opportunity to teach these souls who have become interested. May the Spirit of wisdom descend upon all of them.
The Masonic Order -- The Shriners -- heard today of another Order -- the Order of the Sun of Reality -~ Baha'o'llah. The meeting was in the Masonic Temple, the time was about 1 p.m., and the audience composed of about 600 men in business and professional life. This was the first time that they had heardof the Bahai Order. The “Potentate" introduced Mr. Bates and Mr. Bates in turn introduced Jenabe Fazel to the "Nobles", The Persian teacher explained to them the mystic name of "zuhrah" which belongs to the Shriners. "Zuhrah" has three meanings. First it is the name of a "flower"; second it means "Vemis" and third it is the name of the city of "Bagdad". The talk was listened to with rapt attention and applauded repeatedly. They were delighted with the principles. At the end of the speech Jenabe said: "I hope some day you will come to Persia. In that case you may have to pass through the 'hot sand of the desert', but if you 'hold tight to the rope’ I will see to it that you are carried to your destination in 'safety'". The "Nobles" understood thsse allusions and clapped their hands for along time. After wards they all gathered around him, asking wonderful questions and clamored for Bahai literature. It was indeed a spiritual triumph full of infinite possibilities.

At 2 o'clock Jenabe Fazel left Minneapolis for Pine City. Mr. Bates took him to the station where Mrs, Fox was also present. At 4:15 he arrived at the latter city. Mrs. E. H. Long met him and took him to Hotel Agnes. The Two Editors of the two weeklies came and received long interviews. The Pine City Paper of December 2, and the Pine County Pioneer have already published advance articles. Dinner was partaken with Mr. and Mrs. Long. At 8 p.m., the meeting was held in the Local Moving Picture Theatre. Nearly 400 men and women were present. Mr. Long made a fine introductory speech and Jenabe Fazel delivered his glorious talk on the "Ideals of the New Age". It Was a beautiful meeting. Mrs. Long Was happy because Mr. Long took a part in the meeting. Altogether a fruitful day.
Hinckley, Minnesota, Dadd's Hotel, Dec. 7, 1920.
Pine City and Hinckley are two towns; the former having a population of 1800; the latter 1000. They are only 20 minutes from each other. This morning a number of souls who had heard Jenabe Fazel came to Hotel Agnes and asked questions on economics, the second coming of Christ, the atonement and many other things, Mrs. Long came and expressed her great joy over the meeting of last night. At il o'clock Jenabe accompanied by Mrs. Long came to Hinckley and took rooms in Dadd's Hotel. At 1 o'clock he went to the High School. Professor H. W. Getchell welcomed him in his office and conducted him to the auditorium where the boys and girls and the teachers were waiting to hear his speech. All the high school students Were present. Jenabe told them the nine educational points brought by Baha’o'llah through which he changed the life of the Persian people and interspersed his lecture with stories to make it interesting to the young minds. Professor Getchell was most courteous and kind and took Jenabe through the building and also showed him the various classes at work. At 8 o'clock a lecture was announced in the Presbyterian Church on the universal consciousness of Christ. The Hinckley Enterprise had published a notice of the same. The meeting at the Church was well attended. Mrs, Long introduced Jenabe and then he spoke for one hour in the most eloquent, heavenly manner, attracting every one and desiring all to bring within their lives the divine beauty and perfection of Christ through Abdul Baha the one who in this age represents to us the Image of Celestial Logos. The Minister of the Church, Mr. Lee, took copious notes and at the end asked many questions. In answer to one question Jenabe said: "Christ was the Saviour of those who wished to be saved. If aman has fallen into a well and some one tries to bring him up but he does not extend his hand, he will not be saved. Salvation comes through character and deeds, not by verbal belief." After the meeting these people came forward and expressed their happiness. It was a meeting wherein the Spiritual message of the Cause was delivered.
Hotel Holland, Duluth, Minn., Dec. 8, 1920.
Jenabe Fazel is living with the Angels of Paradise, for such are Mrs, A. Berridge, Mr. ©. H. Bauers, Mr. C. H. Hanson. Three souls, but three stars in the heaven of the Cause. They are wonderfully spiritual, active, live-wires. Jenabe left Hinckley at 3 a.m., arriving in Duluth at 8:30. These three steadfast Bahais welcomed him at the station with the ringing words "Allaho Abba!" and took him to Hotel Holland. Already the Tribune of December 5th and the Herald of the 7th have published illustrated articles about his arrival, printing the series of lectures to be delivered at Clubs, Church and Synagogue. Thousands of handbills, printed and distributed throughout the city. The weather is most ideal, as they tell me every year at this time they have five feet of snow. The friends here have done everything to make the meetings of great success. They have even engaged a stenographer to report all the lectures. Immediately after arrival in the hotel reporters called and received extended interviews. Then Mr. Dicky, who has been the Director of Persia's Mint under Mr. Morgan Shuster came and Jenabe was glad to meet him, for he knew a great deal about Persia. At noon the Secretary of
=f
Kiwanian Club arrived to conduct the Persian lecturer to the Commercial Club Building where their luncheon is served. There were-more than 200 men present
and the lecture was applauded again and again. Afterwards several people were met who had heard about the Bahai Cause and were glad to know some one in this country iS presenting it to the American public, in this broad and universal manner. In the afternoon several people called and actually the ball of heralding the kingdom is rolling with great velocity. In the evening another lecture was delivered before the members of Jewish Colony in their Institute. The audience
-Was most attentive and the account of the history of Palestine and its final
deliverance and the fulfillment of the prophecies in the return of the Jews to their homeland was fully appreciated. Ths Rabbi asked many questions and the meeting came to an end with great harmony and peace. By divine efforts and spiritual assistance, these friends have prepared a fine program that is equal if not superior to any city that Jenabe Fazel has passed through during the past few months. Only the power of the holy spirit could bring these wonderful elements together. It is assured that the Cause will be fully established here.
