DR. JOHN E. ESSLEMONT, Hand of the Cause of God page 9 |
|
Born in 1874 and accepted the Faith in early 1915, Dr. Esslemont
was elevated to the rank of Hand of the Cause of God after his
passing on 22 November 1925 and linked by the Guardian with
George Townshend and Thomas Breakwell, on the passing of
George Townshend, as “One of three luminaries shedding
brilliant lustre annals Irish, English, Scottish Bahá’í communities”.
He was “Vice-President” of the first National Assembly from
October 1923 until November 1924. For fuller details of his life
and works read “Dr. J. E. Esslemont” by Dr. Moojan Momen.
