Professor Julius Germanus, a young Orientalist from the Eastern Academy, brings a group of Turkish language students. [MRHK364]
He visited the homes of several families.
In the evening He spoke to 50 people at the Theosophical Meeting, praising the organization and its goals. Dr Germanus interpreted the talk into German.
On this day 'Abdu'l-Bahá spoke about the spiritual unity of the East and the West. "...it was His hope that Budapest might become a centre for the reunion of the East and West, and that from this city the light might emanate to other places."
