2: Dr. George J. Augur
1853-1927

Dr. George Jacob Augur, a dedicated and deeply spiritual "Disciple of
'Abdu'l-Baha"(7) received several Tablets from 'Abdu'l-Baha. At the
Master's summons Dr. Augur left his home in Honolulu and went to Japan. He
arrived the first time in June 1914 and stayed until April 1915. He made
several other trips to Japan with his wife, Ruth, also a firm believer.
The Augurs worked closely with Miss Alexander to establish the Faith in
Japan. While there Dr. Augur lived in the Japanese style, learned Japanese
and wore the kimono. With 'Abdu'l-Baha's permission he returned to Hawaii
to stay in 1919.

Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Baha to Dr. George Augur

[Tablet Translated November 21, 1913]

O thou dear son!

From thy letter the fragrance of the rose garden of significances was
inhaled, that praise be to God, thou art assisted by the Divine
confirmations, hast found the way to the Kingdom of God and thy heart and
soul are quickened. Arise thou to perform the blessed intention thou art
holding and travel thou to Japan and lay there the foundation of the Cause
of God, that is, summon the people to the Kingdom of God. Japan has great
capacity, but there needs be a teacher who will speak by the confirmations
of the Holy Spirit. I hope thou wilt become assisted in this.

[Tablet Translated February 12, 1914]

O thou who art advancing toward the Kingdom!

Thy letter was received. It indicated, praise be to God, that in the
matter of advancing toward the Kingdom of God thou art firm and steadfast
and thou hast resolved to go to Japan to spread the Divine Teachings. This
lofty magnanimity befits praise. I hope thou mayest become confirmed
therein and in the affairs of the Kingdom thou mayest follow the
inspiration and the teachings of God and not any human suggestion. Rest
assured that thou wilt become assisted.
