| Thornton Chase |
|
| Designated by 'Abdu'l-Bahá as 'the first American believer' and surnamed 'T̲h̲ábit' (Steadfast), Thornton Chase became a Bahá'í in 1894 in Chicago. He travelled extensively for his employers, and wherever he went he taught and served the Faith, not only by speech and dissertation but also by the radiance of his person. 'Abdu'l- Bahá said of him, 'He served the Cause faithfully and his services will ever be remembered throughout future ages and cycles . . . For the present his worth is not known, but in the future it will be inestimably dear. His sun will ever be shining, his star will ever bestow the light.'6 Thornton Chase died in Los Angeles in 1912 just before 'Abdu'l-Bahá arrived in California. |
