    'Abdu'l-Bahá Visits the Pinchot Estate

    He traveled to Grey Towers, the Pinchot family estate in Milford, Pennsylvania, at the invitation of Amos Pinchot, spending two days in conversation with Amos and his brother Gifford Pinchot (former U.S. Forest Service chief) — including a widely noted prediction that a coming war would be centered in Europe and that America would not join it.

    'Abdu'l-Bahá Names New York the ‘City of the Covenant’

    In a moment Bahá’ís regard as doctrinally significant, he formally designated New York the "City of the Covenant" and read aloud the "Tablet of the Branch." The day before, he had also been filmed on motion-picture film at a home in Brooklyn — among the only surviving film footage of him.

    'Abdu'l-Bahá Hosts the Feast of Unity

    At coffee importer Roy Wilhelm's estate in West Englewood, New Jersey (present-day Teaneck), he hosted an outdoor "Feast of Unity" for 200–300 guests seated at circular tables beneath pine trees; a sudden thunderstorm broke over the gathering and cleared again as he sat calmly facing the sky.
