A line is drawn where 'Abdu'l-Baha' and Shoghi Effendi are together on the same side.

'Abdu'l-Baha' never spoke or wrote anything negative about Charles
Mason Remey. Shoghi Effendi never wrote or spoke anything negative
about Charles Mason Remey. A line can be draen separating those who
have written/spoken and/or do write/speak negative comments against
Charles Mason Remey and those who have not or do not now speak against
him. Both 'Abdu'l-Baha' and Shoghi Effendi are on the positive side of
that line, together. I would be extremely concerned if I found myself
on the opposite side of any line from 'Abdu'l-Baha' and Shoghi Effendi.


Very concerned indeed.

From the third Guardian's website:

"The following extracts are taken from Tablets appearing in STARS OF
THE WEST during the years 1913-1922 in the volumes indicated:

Vol. IV, No. 3, 28 April 1913 ( p. 13 ) :

"RECENT TABLET FROM ABDUL-BAHA"
"To his honor Mr. Charles Mason Remey, Washington, D.C.
Upon him be Baha'o'llah EL-ABHA !"
"He is God!"

"O thou illumined youth and my spiritual beloved!"

" Thy letter was received and its perusal imparted happiness impossible
to describe. It was an indication of the loftiness of thy nature, the
strength of thy effort and the purity of thy intentions. Abdul-Baha's
happiness is caused by such matters. If the material luxuries of the
whole earth were available to Abdul-Baha, He would not think for one
moment that there is such a thing as comfort and luxury in the world.
But when a soul-perfuming fragrance wafts from the rose-garden of the
hearts of the friends to the nostrils of Abdul-Baha, such joy is
realized that involuntarily I render thanksgiving unto the Blessed
Perfection Who has trained such servants."

"In brief, your letter imparted to me the utmost happiness. This
thought of yours is very appropriate.* I hope that a new quickening may
be produced in the hearts of the believers, and great firmness and
steadfastness become manifest, that this may lead to the guidance of
others."

"Therefore, with a divine-power, a heavenly resolution and purpose, an
eloquent tongue and a heart overflowing with the Love of God, take in
thy hands the Tablets and travel throughout the cities, even as far a
Honolulu in Hawaii. Travel thou in all the American cities. Call every
one to FIRMNESS IN THE COVENANT! And guide everyone in the diffusion of
the Fragrance of GOD! Raise the cry of 'Ya-Baha-El- Abha ! ' and call
the name of 'Ya-Ali-El-Allah' ! "(O Thou High One Who is the Most
High!)

"Awaken the friends, for ere long a test shall come. Perchance some
persons outwardly firm and inwardly wavering shall come to those parts
in order to weaken the faith of the friends in the Covenant of God. Let
them be awake! Let them be mindful! As soon as they see a trace of
violation of the Covenant, they must hold aloof from the violator. Day
and night let them strive so that the Lights of the Kingdom of ABHA may
encircle the globe and the darkness of error may entirely be
dispelled...."

"Upon thee be Baha El-ABHA!

(Signed) ABDUL-BAHA ABBAS."

people caused by 'Abdu'l-Baha's visit in America.
Volume V, No. 6, 24 June 1914 ( p. 84 ) :

" ABDUL-BAHA'S VISIT TO PHILADELPHIA
JUNE 8-10, 1912 "

" Mr. William Remey came in about this time and when Abdul-Baha saw
him, he greeted him most warmly.

" Your brother [Mason] mentioned your name to me. You are greatly
blessed by having such a brother. At present you do not know how
greatly you are blessed but you will see this with your own eyes. Your
whole family will be glorified; they will be proud that they have such
sons as Mr. Remey and yourself. "

Volume V, No. 14, 23 November 1914 ( p. 216 ) :

In an article written by Mr. George Latimer addressed: "To the STAR OF
THE WEST," he writes: "This present trip of nine months through Europe
and culminating in our visit with Abdul-Baha in the Holy Land has
brought a new realization of the Cause to Mr. Remey and myself. . . ."

"On Oct. 18th we were called into his presence about 6:30 in the
evening and after a few remarks he spoke as follows: 'There are many
heralds in the world. [ He goes on to enumerate several types ] . . .
But praise be to God, that you are heralds of the Kingdom of God . . .
the fame of the souls, who are the heralds of the Kingdom, is eternal .
.. . . "Thank ye God that ye are the heralds of the Kingdom of Abha, the
heralds of the Covenant of the Almighty .. . . Today, whosoever is a
herald of the Covenant is the light of the Regions. In the Supreme
Concourse the Heavenly Cohorts are arrayed, watching to see who will
enter the arena of service of the Covenant that they may rush forward
to reinforce, to strengthen and to confer upon him triumph."


Volume V, No. 19, 2 March 1915 ( pp. 296-297 ) :

"TABLET FROM ABDUL-BAHA"

"To his honor Mr. Remey - Upon him be BAHA'O'LLAH EL ABHA!"

"HE IS GOD!"

"O thou who art rejoiced by the Divine Glad Tidings! "

" . . .Verily, I beseech God to make thee confirmed under all
circumstances. Do not become despondent, neither be thou sad. ERE LONG,
THY LORD SHALL MAKE THEE A SIGN OF GUIDANCE AMONG MANKIND." (caps

Volume X, No. 7, 13 July 1919 ( p. 144 ) :


"To his honor Mr. Remey, care of his honor Mr. Roy Wilhelm, New York
City - Upon him be BAHA'O'LLAH El Abha!"

"He is God!"

"O my dear son!

"Numerous letters have been received from you and their contents have
all been conducive to happiness. Praise be to God, thou art confirmed
in service to the Kingdom, art promulgating divine teachings, art
raising the call of the oneness of mankind, art detaching the souls
from ignorant racial prejudices, art summoning them to the
investigation of truth, art showing forth unto them the light of
guidance and art offering them the chalice of the wine of the love of
God. This blessed purpose of thine is the magnet of the confirmations
of the Abha Kingdom."

("Translated by Shoghi Rabbani, May 23rd, 1919, Haifa, Palestine)
Volume X, No. 12, 16 October 1919 ( p. 230 ) :

" Recent Tablet from Abdul-Baha to American Bahais: "

We have cabled Mr. Remey to postpone his tour, for his presence, in
these days, in America is necessary. In reality, he has been and is
engaged in the utmost power in service and I love him infinitely, and
verily he merits this love of Abdul-Baha."

(Translated by Shoghi Rabbani, Haifa, Palestine, May 23rd, 1919)
Volume 11, No. 7, 13 July 1920 ( p. 112 ) :

" Recent Tablet from Abdul-Baha to Mr. A. W. Randall: "

"The model [ of the House of Worship to be built in Wilmette, Ill. ] of
Mr. Bourgeois, praise be to God, has become acceptable to the friends,
especially that it has proved approvable to his honor, Mr. Remey."
Volume 11, No. 8, 1 August 1920 ( p. 122 ) :

"To his honor, Mr. Remey, Washington, D.C.- Upon him be
BAHA'O'LLAH El Abha!"

"He is God"

"O thou son of the Kingdom!"

". . . In brief, I am greatly pleased with thy conduct and thy
behavior. Praise be to God, thou art freed from these limitations and
imaginations, hast no purpose save the diffusion of the divine
fragrances and art ever restless and active. Thou art day and night
striving to hoist the resplendent banner and to cause the shining morn
to illumine all regions. From the Abha Kingdom I ever beg confirmations
for thee, for without it the smallest things cannot be performed, how
much more this important question ["the subject of the colored and the
white"].


Volume 11, No. 9, 20 August 1920 ( p. 139 ) :
"Recent Tablet from Abdul-Baha to Mrs. Corrinne True"

.. . ."Praise be unto God, that the model of the Mashrekol-Askar
[current transliteration: Mashriqu'l-Adhkár] made by Mr. Bourgeois was
approved by his honor, Mr. Remey, and selected by the Convention. His
honor, Mr. Remey is, verily, of perfect sincerity. He is like unto
transparent water, filtered. lucid and without any impurity. He worked
earnestly for several years, but he did not have any personal motive.
He has not attachment to anything except to the Cause of God. This is
the spirit of the firm and this is the characteristic of the sincere."

Volume 11, No. 13, 4 November 1920, ( pp. 229-230 ) :
"Recent Tablet from Abdul-Baha to Chas. Mason Remey"

"Through the faithful soul, Taereh, the wife of his honor Consul
Schwarz, Stuttgart, Germany, to his honor. Mr. (Charles Mason) Remey

"He is God"

"O thou enlightened beloved son!". . . Thou art unquestionably in the
utmost joy and rapture now that thou art mingling and associating with
those blessed souls.

"It is my hope that thy present trip [in Germany] will give rise to
great results. . ."

"Unto thee be the Glory of God!"

Baha'o'llah." (underlining added)


Volume 12, No. 3, 28 April 1921, ( p. 58 ) :

October 7, 1921: 'Some time ago I wrote thee a letter the content of
which was that, praise be to God, thou hast become confirmed in drawing
a plan for the pilgrim house in Haifa. It is my hope that this pilgrim
house may be built under your supervision. Also in the future a
Mashreq'ul Azkar [current transliteration is "Mashriqu'l-Adhkár"] will
be established on Mount Carmel. THOU WILT BE ITS ARCHITECT AND FOUNDER.
I give thee this glad tidings.'" (Caps added)
