Donations for the German friends sent sometime ago through Mr. Roy Wilhelm, have been acknowledged in a letter from Consul Schwartz, as follows:

"Many thanks for your kind letter.......I hope that you are in receipt of my letter in which I expressed my best thanks for the first donation of $70.00. Today we have again to thank you for $28.00. I beg to express the heartiest thanks of the National Assembly for your great kindness. We will use the money for the care of the friends who are in need.

THE CONVENTION AT WORCESTER From a letter received from Mr. Randall, we quote the following:

"A telegram from Jenab-i Fadil states that he will be with us during the entire Convention. There will be three Congress evenings, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday -- and it is the desire of the Committee to limit the program so as not to tire people and at the same time to give at each Congress meeting one of the best speakers obtainable, which will include Dr. John Herman Randall, Albert Vail and Jenab-i Fadil, there being one principle speaker each night with a good chairman. % appears to us that with lovely music, addresses that are not too long, but filled with the spirit, will be more effective than a long program which has been the temptation in the past.

“The Ridvan Feast will certainly be very beautiful and give opportunity for not only a welcome to all the friends, but a welcome from many of the friends in five minute addresses. I hope everybody will make the effort to attend this Convention because it is really pivotal in many respects and ought to usher in a new era. of growth and unity."
