notes A story about the corner store of the Chicago House of Worship:
"In 1912, “[a]fter the talk ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, followed by His audience, left the tent and requested that Nettie Tobin’s stone be brought to Him. …. “Like an athlete” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá took it [an ax] and “swung it high in the air.” ‘After several blows,” wrote Louise Waite, He “cut through the resisting turf and reached the earth below.”
Turning to Lua Getsinger, He bade her to corne forward despite her resistance. It was not until He called her a second time that she responded, grasped the shovel, and turned the first earth. Following her was Corinne True, after which, one by one, individuals of many races and nationalities – Persian, Syrian, Egyptian, Indian, North American Indian, Japanese, South African, English, French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Jewish – were called forward to participate in the digging.
Then He “consigned the stone to its excavation, on behalf of all the people of the world.” After retrieving the golden trowel, He pushed the earth back around the stone and declared: “The Temple is already built.”"
