Temple site on Mount Carmel

One morning Leroy Ioas drove us to see the Temple site which is situated on the very top of Mt. Carmel about two miles from the Shrine of the Báb. The site is shaped like a peninsula overlooking water on three sides. The Guardian said the Shrine of the Báb is the heart of Carmel and the Temple will be the head. The Guardian said Bahá'u'lláh stood on this site and revealed the Tablet of Carmel, with such loud ringing tones that the nuns in the Carmelite nunnery situated further below could hear Him. This site is also near the cave of Elijah.

No Christian Civilization

The Guardian stressed many times that there has not been a Christian Civilization for centuries - only a materialistic civilization.

May Maxwell’s health

He [‘Abdu’l-Baha] inquired after her [Mrs. Maxwell] health, and when I said that she seemed better than ever since she had become a eliever, 'Abdu'l-Bahá said:

"Some years ago when Mrs. Maxwell came to Akka, she was very weak and seriously ill, - so much so that no one could believe she would ever get well. But God healed her."

“Mashriqu'l-Adhkar is a material thing that will have great effect upon the spirits of the people.”

To have it built is most important. Some material things have spiritual effect, and the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar is a material thing that will have great effect upon the spirits of the people. Not only does the building of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar have an effect upon those who build it, but upon the whole world." "In the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, services will be held every morning and the words of Baha’u’llah only are to be read.
