Oxford Hotel in Denver, Colorado where ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Spent A Day

THE Oxford Hotel is very near Union Station in Denver. Mahmud reports that, “Despite the Master’s exhaustion, He gave two public talks: one in the afternoon at the home of Mrs Roberts and the other in the evening at the Church of the Messiah. In both gatherings He spoke of the similarity of the principles of all religions as well as the revision of certain social laws to meet the needs of the time. His explanations were delivered so impressively that the audience was enlightened as well as extremely interested. As He was leaving the church, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said farewell to all those who had gathered around Him. They pleaded with Him to stay a little longer but He said, ‘I must return soon to the East.’ Returning to the hotel, He instructed us to pack. We hastened to obey His orders and caught the first train. With a happy face, the Master said: ‘Now we are going again toward the East.” -Mahmud’s Diary, 357 The Oxford Hotel is on the National Register of Historic places http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Register_of_Historic_Places_listin…
