Review by: anonymous
[page 878]
An
enthusiastic report of personal experiences in meetings with Abdul Baha,
visits to Palestine and association with the Bahai faithful, and an
exposition of those phases of the Bahai faith which are considered most
relevant to the world's present need. There is a chapter on
[page 879]
"prophecies of the Great Pyramid," the measurements of which are held to prove that "1957
will see the beginning of universal peace" - a proposition confirmed by Abdul Baha's
interpretation of Dan. 12:12. (Daniel's 1,335 days added to 622, the date of Mohammed's hegira
in terms of Christian chronology, gives 1957. Q.E.D.) Along with much that will seem fantastic
to any but Bahais, there is much discourse on a high moral and spiritual plane.
