The report of the National Spiritual Assembly for the year
1924-5 was read by the secretary, Horace Holley. It was the first of such
reports ever rendered in such form and made a profound impression. It was a
condensation of the minutes of this great body for eleven meetings covering a
period of fourteen months, showing in succinct, graphic and beautiful phrases
the strides made by the Cause, the activities of its committees or arms of
service, the fields covered by the national teachers, the relief extended
Persia, the convention for amity between the races held in Philadelphia, the
connection with the various assemblies of the Cause, its reliance upon the
Guardian and the spirit of harmony which characterized its deliberations. The
convention showed its approval by a vote of thanks.
