The Edmonton community reported that they were fortunate to have Dr. Furutan and Mr. Anvar (his interpreter) as guests at the Feast of Grandeur. Two meetings were held during their stay in Edmonton, one for Bahá'ís when the community had an opportunity to ask questions, and a public fireside attended by 22 persons, including several Moslems, a Grecian lady and a young German. During thejr visit they made an unofficial tour of the University of Alberta. The sincerity and humility of the Persian friends impressed the Edmonton community and inspired them to greater personal consecration. This opportunity to meet Bahá'ís .from other lands gives the international unity of our Faith more reality and significance. [from a report in CBN #41 June 1953 p3; CBN #42 July 1953 p2] `Alí-Akbar Furútan; Edmonton, AB; Mehran Anvari
