Conference held in Chicago in 1893 in conjunction with the Columbian Exposition. A paper written by Rev. Henry H. Jessup and read by Rev. George A. Ford provided the first mention of the Faith in the West: '. . . it was announced that "a famous Persian Sage", "the Bábí Saint", had recently died in 'Akká, and that two years previous to His ascension "a Cambridge scholar" had visited Him, to whom He had expressed "sentiments so noble, so Christ-like" that the author of the paper, in his "closing words'", wished to share them with his audience.'19
[BD 241-242]
