Agnes: April 24 – Meeting of colored and white people

The people were all assembled in the large room when we returned home. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá paid a beautiful tribute to the teaching of the Christ.[see The Promulgation of the Universal Peace] The people showed great interest and as usual were loath to go.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá went for a short drive after the meeting. When He returned I was sent for to have tea and again He handed the cup of tea to me that was prepared for Him.

At luncheon we had as guests Mrs. Belmont and Leona Barnitz and at dinner Mrs. Belmont, who remained for the night. They are both here, anxious to do some service for ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Mrs. Belmont answers the telephone and Leona Barnitz conducts the visitors to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s room for interviews, keeping a list of the names.

In the evening ‘Abdu’l-Bahá went to a meeting of colored and white people at Mrs. Dyers and later to Mr. Alexander Graham Bell’s. [see Mahmud’s Diary]
