2.18.9 Shoghi Effendi’s Travel to Switzerland
When Shoghi Effendi took over the reins of administration he was wont to go to Switzerland and spiritual meditation so to speak. The Local Spiritual Assembly in Haifa would meet and humbly pray him to go abroad to escape the excessive heat of the summer in Haifa. Shoghi Effendi obligingly granted the prayer and went abroad. When the Second World War broke out in 1939 Shoghi Effendi was abroad. He sent a cable saying that he was returning home. It was signed Rabbani. The British Censor was at a loss as to the identity of Rabbani. In due course he returned home to Haifa and stayed there throughout the disturbances in Palestine.
