Word has come of the passing of Dr. Auguste Forel, the
distinguished savant of Switzerland, known throughout the world as one of the
foremost scientists of this day. In 1920 Dr. Forel embraced the Baha’i Cause,
and 'Abdu’l-Baha addressed to him that great Tablet presenting the scientific
proofs of God’s existence, which was published in its entirety in the Star of
the West, Vol. 13, pages 101 to 109. By his tireless research Dr. Forel greatly
augmented scientific knowledge and rendered inestimable service to mankind, and
the beauty of his life and character will long remain with us as an example of
selfless service to humanity.
