To The Light...
It was a short time after Grace told me this story that she went on the teaching trip
through the near-southern states that I mentioned above. The teaching trip ended
in time for her to reach Wilmette and attend the Convention in the spring of 1938.
It was a very radiant Convention and the report Grace gave of her teaching trip was one
of the high points of it because Grace herself was so radiant and filled with the
glory of the great privilege of teaching. She stood there, before the crowded hall
in the foundation of the temple, filled with the great glory that shone from her and, closing
her report, she uttered a tremendous clarion call for pioneers and for teachers.
Then she walked down to resume her seat amongst the delegates. But on her way she
paused beside Harlan, who had just been reelected to our National Spiritual Assembly. "I want
to congratulate you now" she whispered, "I may not have time later", They smiled
at each other with the perfect understanding that had always existed between them.
Then Grace slipped into her own seat. As she sat down her head drooped slightly and those
glancing at her assumed she was lost in prayer. But when she made no movement for
many moments someone touched her someone realized something was wrong Edris Rice-Wray
and Katherine True both moved forward - and Grace was gone - gone through her Open
Door - gone on her beautiful journey to the arms of Abdu'l- Baha - (Both Edris Rice-Wray
and Katherine True are doctors).
Told to me by Edris Rice-Wrays, M. D. c. 1944

OH SON OF THE SUPREME
I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I
made the light to shine on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom?
