> Could not find any reference to Ms. Rice, Ms. Hoagg or Marion > Jack in early Alaskan history. Susan Rice:
Then in 1916, we hear of Mrs. Susan Rice who spent an entire summer vaca bion in Alaska. The account of her trip all alone up the Yukon to Dawson was filled with deeply spiritual hours, esp eBAHA'I tone little town on the way, where she gave the Baha'i Message to every one in the town. The fruit of her seed sowing foreshadowed what might be expected in the future in the way of a vital interest from the people in that land, for she left real friends and many attracted to the Cause at Fairbanks, White Horse and Dawson, and indirectly through her the Message was carried to Wiseman, the most northerly point, in habited at that time. - SW, Vol. 15 (October 1924), p. 210 Article by Mariam Haney, 'Travelling and Teaching in Alaska'. Susan Rice was one of the petitioners of Abdu'l-Baha to come to North america. Still later we find the history of the Cause in Alaska records the work of Mrs. Emogene Hoagg and Miss Marion Jack, who together spent over a year traveling from city to city, presenting the Baha Message publicly in many large and important gatherings as Mrs. Hoagg is a most impressive speaker before the public, and both teach with clarity and conviction. They served with distinction and great success, for the element of sacrifice entered largely into their work. ibid. However General Jack is normally asociated with Bulgaria > Honor Kempton was the first Pioneer to Alaska (1939) under the > first Seven Year Plan and enrolled Janet (Whitenack) Stout, > the 1st new believer in Alaska the same year. Janet was then > so inspired by Ms. Kempton that she herself pioneered to a > very small interior village, Tuluksak on the Kuskokwim River, > where she taught school. Honor Kempton is ruled out because she went there several years after the Letter "America and the Most Great Peace" I am still keen to know who was associated with the West Indies. ---------- You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.jccc.net/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=bahai-st news://list.jccc.net/bahai-st http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist (public) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (public)
