YR 1908

Minutes of the House of Spir.
4 Jan. 1908

Mr. Woodcock of Montreal is "explaining the inner meanings of the Temple." The
minutes don't elaborate.
"Mrs. Foster, Miss Buikema, were recommended for service as committee for
Temple General Fund."
The importance of teaching the Faith and the establishment of meetings for both
believers and outsiders was considered fully, and will be taken up again.

Minutes of the House of Spir.
11 Jan. 1908

Mr. Johnson of Racine was present.
Mrs. Russell, Miss Buikema, suggest we eliminate from the Sunday meetings all
talks, and add more readings of Baha'u'llah and `Abdu'l-Baha.

Minutes of the House of Spir.
18 Jan. 1908

Miss Rosenberg's mother has died.
Mr. Sprague wishes to cooperate with House of Spir.; how?
Mr. Remey wrote about local Temple committees.
The Hamadan Young People's Society wrote also.

Remey to House of Spir.
12 Jan. 1908

"At the regular meeting of the Working Committee of the Washington [Wash. D.C.]
Assembly..." I briefed them of your work and proposed what we agreed on, the
circular proposing local Temple committees.
"This great service this letter to be followed up later by a communication
suggesting the organization of a general Temple association of all Baha"i Assemblies
of this country for the building of the Temple, thus giving each Assembly in the land
an equal opportunity to serve in this most important matter--the Chicago House of
Spirituality acting as trustees of the General Temple Associations. This proposition
was accepted by all unanimously as being a service which the Washington Assembly
should hasten to perform.
"Under the present arrangements in Washington [Wash. D.C.] our working
committee has no authority to use the name of the Assembly--it being the custom to
call a special meeting of the Assembly to consider important matters." So, they are
doing that. "Also we will ask that a committee be appointed and empowered to act for
the Assembly in all matters."
"In Washington [Wash. D.C.] we have been obligated to work very slowly towards
Assembly organization. The time is now at hand for another step--as I have just
outlined--and in the future we will from time to time add elements of organization as
we need them. We are younger in such matters than you in Chicago, but we are
growing."

Ella Quant to House of Spir.
Johnstown, NY, 20 Jan. 1908

breaths His Name, indeed for all peoples to come." They feel it is a "duty" to help
build the Temple.

W. B. Brancher to House of Spir.
5 Jan. 1908

"I have been working in the Socialist movement to some extent trying to get the
workers and producers to desire better conditions and not be content to do the work of
the world for so small a share in blessings which have resulted from our combined
efforts.
"The world cannot be saved by the letter. It must be done by the Spirit."
Brancher goes on to say that all must have a job. He complains about so much
taxes. He has no money, so he will pray for the Temple work. He closes the letter
with "Allah U Abha."

copy 83 Chicago, 27 Feb. 1908

The letter is signed by T. Chase and is done on his typewriter. So it is by him.
Has `Abdu'l-Baha changed the spelling of Baha'u'llah? Wilhelm is in Chicago and
is positive he heard `Abdu'l-Baha right. We are sure he must be wrong. Please
straighten out the question.
T. Chase describes the pronunciation during the Kheiralla period as BEEha-
OOLlah.

Minutes of the House of Spir.

more later, when land is cheaper.

Ober is secretary of Boston's Temple Committee.
Mrs. Agnew sent out a circular about the bazaar the women are holding to raise

"In the Boston Assembly a Temple Committee has been appointed and all matters
pertaining to the Temple will be referred to it."

Remey is replying to Windust's letter of 14 Mar.
We [the Wash. D.C. Working Committee] will send out the Wash. D.C. (temple)
and Chicago (tablets) circulars next week.
He raises a few details. Contributions must go to C. Scheffler directly. And the
circular letter should say the consultation was with the Chicago House of Spir., not
just with some Chicago Baha'is.
"P.S. Miss Barney's book is out and copies maybe obtained from Miss Gain [?]...
[New York City]... Price $1="

Remey to Windust

pilgrimage; and he sends a mailing list. The message may be the one he describes in
the next letter.

Remey to Windust
23 Mar. 1908

Why not have people but "one foot" of the Temple? A good campaign slogan for
raising money. Remey will design a certificate to give to those who contribute.

upcoming summer." But don't tell anyone yet, because my plans may change.

Remey to Windust
3 Apr. 1908

I understand you have bought a site. So lets encourage people to buy stones instead
of feet.

B. Jacobsen to House of Spir. (to A. Agnew?)
Kenosha, 4 Apr. 1908

Tell Remey that 19 cents per share (foot) is too small; children give that much!
And tell him his next circular letter on the Temple should mention the purchase of
the land. If he leaves for overseas, he should make sure someone else is carrying on
the work he started.
Kenosha had a unity feast on Sunday; it was very good.

Remey to Windust
8 Apr. 1908
A reply to Windust's letter of 2 Apr. 1908.

Spir. in any way you would like.
Temple branches are being formed. We will send out a list of them, once a few
more are official.

Extract of Minutes of the New York Board of Counsel
copy 83 17 Mar. 1908

A Baha'i Temple Committee has been established in New York. It will have 95
charter members; it will be self-perpetuating; and will elect its own President,
secretary, and treasurer. Thirteen have pledged $95.00 each. But none of the
money is on the way because the committee, originally, must have been appointed to
establish a New York Temple. No money was actually collected.
New York sent Mr. Harris to India last year, so we can't do much for the Temple.
What are your plans? We don't know them. Consult with us.

colored belt. What a good work Washington [Wash. D.C.] is doing to have 15 colored
believers. Of course God will send some servant to our Chicago colored people but
how much better for us if one of our members could obtain that spiritual favor
instead of one from the outside having to be sent."

He encloses the bylaws of the Assembly. They should be adopted at some Sunday
meeting with ten day's notice to the community. These papers are fully legal.
The bylaws (copied) are a bit like the modern ones, though are more like a
standard nonprofit corporation.

Mrs. James Carmichael to House of Spir.
copy 83 19 July 1908

It takes half a day to get to the Temple. No one will go there. `Abdu'l-Baha says to
build it in Chicago; you aren't. And it isn't really on the lake either!

printers.
We are ready to serve you.

House of Spir. circular letter
12 Aug. 1908

Another letter about the Temple from `Abdu'l-Baha.

Maritz Schmidt to House of Spir.
Chicago, 8 Aug. 1908

A depression is a bad time to build a Temple. A building with no practical use "is
useless."
The Baha'i Faith is just words, not actions. How are you different. You don't
practice what you preach.
I don't come to Sunday meetings because of this. The meetings are no different
from a church service. "this Religion in reality is dead in Chicago" You embrace the
rich but not the poor. "You will say I am a poor Bahaist or not a Bahaist at all"
Sometimes your Sunday talks are very poor.
[Possibly this letter was triggered by Sprague's effort to visit inactive
believers.]
He writes "Bahaula" and "Abdul Baha."
The teachings are simple, but don't add to them; "And this is one of the most
important causes that Bahaist members in Chicago number practicly [sic] less in
Chicago today than years ago, or if there are not less there is no material growth
noteworthy as long as I can see, and as a body and unity I have failed to see anything
compared with the time in existent [sic]. And I believe something seriously is wrong
somewhere."

Mrs. Mattie A. Watson to House of Spir.
8 Aug. 1908

She sends $6.00 toward the Temple and $5.00 toward the hall rent. She doesn't

Oscar S. Hinckley to House of Spir.

He is the only Baha'i in San Diego. He is renting an unfurnished hotel room for

Corinne True to House of Spir.
copy 83 Fruitport, MI, 18 Aug. 1908

I just got two more tablets from `Abdu'l-Baha about the Temple. `Abdu'l-Baha
says to form a national association, permanent, from all the Assemblies, to build the
Temple.
I will be in Chicago tomorrow for a day or two. Will return on 1 Sept.

Corinne True to House of Spir.
Fruitport, MI, 24 Aug. 1908

She has had 500 copies of the tablets printed; they will be mailed.
Wouldn't it be great if `Abdu'l-Baha came to lay the corner stone?

Frank J. Phelps to Windust

The letter is a cover the following letter.

Ali Kuli Khan to Chicago
Hossein Khan and Hassan Ali Khan, sons of the Kalantar of Tabriz, are coming to

Edwin W. Woodcock to "All True Bahais"
Pasadena, Cal., 17 Aug. 1908

He is a businessman. `Abdu'l-Baha told him to write up his pilgrimage account.
There was an article about it in the 14 June 1908 Sunday Los Ang. Times magazine.
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Fay Mills are interested in the Faith as a result. They
plan to start a "Fellowship Magazine" on the "Bahai Revelation." Woodcock will
write a series of articles for it; the Sept. issue will be the first. Sample copies will
be distributed.

Chicago to "the Beloved Friends in America"
copy 83 n.d. (Sept. 1908)

`Abdu'l-Baha approves of a national association. All communities are asked to

everyone in touch with the Faith, as well as the Temple. There will be a Temple
convention as soon as possible.
Send contributions to the Temple to C. Scheffler.
Tablets about the Temple are appended. The letter is typed on T. Chase's

Minutes of the House of Spir.
27 Sept. 1908

T. Chase read the circular letter about the Temple Association; it was approved.
Remey writes that a Baha'i hospital is to be started in Tehran. An American
woman doctor is needed. Two Persian Baha'i doctors are starting it. A nurse is
needed too. Mr. A. Agnew will ask Dr. Moody; maybe she could go.
`Abdu'l-Baha's daughter hints He could come to America.

Remey to House of Spir.
betw. Port Said and Marseilles, 5 Sept. 1908

The change in Akka is great. "When I was there in June all was in the greatest
trouble..." He was there nine days. Things began to improve a little then. Then the
big change; its "hard to realize."
The letter is all about Turkey and the Turks. Remey was in Istanbul before and
after the Constitution; he couldn't believe the changes.
I can't tell you all about my trip now; the story is too long.
p. 11-- a Baha'i hospital will be started in Tehran. `Abdu'l-Baha has approved
an American Baha'i woman going to Iran. Two women should go; a nurse too, a skilled
midwife is badly needed. It only costs $200 to travel from New York to Tehran.
p. 13--A Baha'i school is needed in Tehran too. `Abdu'l-Baha says an American
Baha'i school there would be good.
An American-Persian Alliance could support the school. It would be useful. The
name Baha'i couldn't be in the title for now.
A tablet from `Abdu'l-Baha to the world has been revealed; He commanded it to be
published in Persian and English.
Maybe Dr. Moody could go to Iran; the House of Spir. should ask her though, not
me.
`Abdu'l-Baha says to teach the Mormons.

Hooper Harris Circular letter
copy 83 New York, Sept. 1908

The Bahai Bulletin and The Day will come out. The first is for Baha'is; Harris and

C. True to House of Spir.
12 Oct. 1908

She received a tablet from `Abdu'l-Baha today.
Apparently the women placed nine stones on the Temple land, poured attar of rose
and olive oil on them. `Abdu'l-Baha wrote about it. The House of Spir. decided not to
circulate the tablet. (This information is added by Windust to the bottom of the
letter.)

Remey to Windust
Wash. D.C., 3 Oct. 1908

He has been in Wash. D.C. three days. Remey will come to Chicago before the end
of the winter.
The Wash. D.C. Temple fund has $60.00.
Wash. D.C. will publish the Persian half of `Abdu'l-Baha's message to the world;
can the Bahai Publishing Society publish the English half? (later Remey wrote a
post card to say Wash. D.C. would handle the English too.)
Remey visited the Persian ambassador to Turkey, on `Abdu'l-Baha's orders.

Remey to Windust
10 Oct. 1908

A photo of the Chicago "brothers" arrived.
Remey will write down a description of the Ishqabad Temple. If it were to be built

obliged to be content with a smaller affair."

A. Agnew will write to the Bahai Bulletin about the Temple.

House of Spir. (T. Chase) to New York Board of Consultation
copy 83 Chicago, 25 Nov. 1908

The House of Spir. is seen as the "backbone" of the Chicago Assembly. A clique
resents the fact, though. If any communications come from Chicago without the
signature of the House of Spir., they aren't from us.
The Temple land was bought because of the pressure of a few.
When would you prefer the convention? Is Christmas/New Year's too soon for
you? Or Ayyam-i-Ha? Or Ridvan? We want men to come, not women.
We have $2500.00 on hand, and $300.00 cash.
The Temple can't be too small; a movable iron room was suggested the other day!
At least a foundation can b built soon. $35,000.00 will be needed just to buy the
land.
Some one said `Abdu'l-Baha said the site for the Temple cannot be changed. But
who said it? Is it reliable?
We must all work together.

Minutes of the House of Spir.
8 Dec. 1908

Mr. Fuller was ratified by the Assembly as a member of the House of Spir.
A. Agnew's statement about the Temple for the Bahai Bulletin is approved.

Ober writes about New York City conditions.
Getsinger's letter about organization was read and discussed.
General discussion.

Harlan Ober to T. Chase (House of Spir.)
copy 83 New York City, 27 Nov. 1908

The letter is in reply to T. Chase's letter of 25 Nov. 1908 (see T. Chase papers).
Miss Boylan says `Abdu'l-Baha was emphatic; the present Temple site must be
used.
New York had Feast last night at the Kinney's; "nearly a hundred believers" were
present. After, Ober spoke to the Kinneys, Barakatullah, and Enayatullah about the
Temple. There was criticism of the House of Spir. and of the New York Board of
Counsel for moving too slowly.
We must move as fast as possible; `Abdu'l-Baha says so.
Outside Chicago, no one cares the site is far from downtown.
Ober went to a meeting at Miss Thompson's; Hoar read a tablet, a new one. She
was nervous when Mr. Hoar began to speak of Mr. Harris; she feared a dispute.
"Mr. W'--who is he? Ober criticizes him. He is a teacher who many like in New
York City. Woodcock!
Two weeks later Ober adds more to the letter. Mrs. Lua Gets. visited New York
City on her way to Akka. There have been Temple meetings here.
Woodcock criticizes the House of Spir. for inaction. Mrs. True wrote him about it.
Some said a letter should be written to the House of Spir. to bring their laxity to
their attention. Mr. Hutchinson stood up and said no evidence for laxity exists.
Many are followers of Woodcock but don't believe in his ideas. At least Mrs. True
has orthodox beliefs.
The men in New York have been right for years, but they haven't been loving, so
there has been no result (about p. 9).
Edward Gets. was told by `Abdu'l-Baha he should have left the Kheiralla matter
alone!
We should not imagine that we are defending the Cause. This is a Spanish
Inquisition attitude.
The Faith sometimes is an insane asylum.
The New York Board of Counsel met last night. Apparently Ober attended. MacNutt
will represent New York at the convention. There will be no community meeting to
decide representation; many are unhappy about this. Some feel the Board has
assumed too much power.

Edward Gets. to G. Lesch
10 Dec. 1908

He lives in Wash. D.C. but is writing from New York. He has been unanimously
chosen Wash. D.C.'s delegate for the Temple convention. Things are going well in
Wash. D.C. right now.

Oscar Hinckley to House of Spir.
copy 83 San Diego, 8 Dec. 1908

He spends most of his time reading tablets and studying. Thank you for the letter.
"We cannot be thankful enough that we live in this glorious age and can know of
this Bahai truth and accept as our very own and to practice and live it every day of
our lives..." He speaks about the next world.

Remey to House of Spir.
copy 83 3 p. 18 Dec. 1908

He describes in detail a modest Temple design, made of brick.

Mirza Munir Zayn to House of Spir.
30 Oct. 1908

Parsee Baha'is from India arrived on pilgrimage the other day.
Chicago is so fortunate to be building the first Temple in the West. Five Temple
annexes should eventually be added. There are tablets to Emma (?) [Aurelia]
Bethlen about the Temple dependencies.

Hooper Harris, Chairman of the New York Board to House of Spir.
New York, 12 Dec. 1908

Harris writes from 68 William St. New York.
MacNutt has been appointed as New York's delegate to the Temple convention.
Should we appoint one delegate or more?
"each Spiritual Meeting"--does that mean all of New York, or Mr. Dodge's, Miss
Thompson's, and Mr. Kinney's "spiritual meetings"?
Should the delegates been elected or appointed? An arbitrary decision by the
Board could cause division. Do you think we should elect a delegate or appoint him?
We are consulted with the House of Spir. on the matter. We'll listen to your advice.
The seven members of the Board at its last meeting voted as follows: Hoar,
Curmack, and Hutchinson voted yes for MacNutt. MacNutt and Hale "of course" were
silent. Harris--as chairman--could not vote. Osborne voted no.

Minutes of the House of Spir.
22 Dec. 1908

Mr. Hall is visiting. He was briefed about the Temple.
Mrs. True asks that we set up a Chicago Temple committee for the Temple work.
We will do this at Mrs. Russell's home on 3 Jan. 1909, Sunday morning. There will
be printed notices.

C. True to House of Spir.
Dec. 1908

There was a Temple meeting held at Mrs. Russell's and Dr. Moody's on 16 Dec.
1908. A Temple Meeting should be called to establish a Temple Branch committee
for Chicago. It would handle the convention.
Mr. Sprague helped out.

Annie T. Boylan to C. True
New York City, 21 Nov. 1908

It is enclosed with the Dec. 1908 letter. She was with `Abdu'l-Baha for eleven
days. He said "The right place has been selected," and "The people must keep the fist
site..."

Ida Finch to C. True
copy 83 Akka, 10 Nov. 1908

She lists the Temple dependencies.

T. Chase to House of Spir.
copy 83 Detroit, 15 Dec. 1908

T. Chase encloses a letter from New York Board of Counsel (the one from Harris, I
think).
The convention should be as large as possible; and representative. As many New
York Baha'is should come as possible; all of the Board of Counsel if possible.
"Lobbying" must be discouraged.
T. Chase says the meaning of the word "meeting" in the tablets is specialized.
The "round robin" technique adopted by the House of Spir. is a very good one, T.
Chase believes. New York doesn't do it. Unanimity always results by the second time
around. Consultation is the key.
We must set the time for the Temple convention and get the notices out. Let's plan
on holding it before the Fast.
Maybe MacNutt and all of New York [the "whole party"] could come.
Unity. Consultation.

New York Board of Counsel to T. Chase and House of Spir.
12 Dec. 1908

A copy exists in the T. Chase papers; this is a cross reference.
