191-		 'Abdu'l-Bahá left Malden for Boston. He left Boston at 9AM by train for Montreal, arriving at midnight and was met by Sutherland Maxwell. He took only two of His attendants with Him, Mírzá Ahmad Sohrab and Mírzá Mahmúd-i-Zarqání, HIs chronicler. [239D:132; AB132; BW8:637; MD230-231]
  • In spite of the lateness of the hour a group of friends and a newspaper publisher, Mr John Lewis of the Montreal Daily Star were waiting to see the Master at the Maxwell home. The following the headline read, “APOSTLE OF PEACE HERE, PREDICTS AN APPALLING WAR IN THE OLD WORLD”. That newspaper and The Gazette provided extensive coverage of the visit. It is noteworthy that the newspaper coverage in the Montreal papers were noticeably free of journalistic quirks and extravagances. [AB256-257; MD226-227; Remembering 'Abdu'l-Baha's Call for Unity, a Century after World War I from Bahá'í World News Service 2018-11-26]
  • He stayed in Montreal for ten days, living for four nights at the Maxwell residence. [239D:132]
