JOHN CHARLES CRAVEN

Was associated closely with E. T. Hall and Rebecca Hall from the earliest
days of the Faith in Manchester, and remained a dedicated worker until his
death, aged 80 in 1958. "Uncle John" kept up a wide correspondence with
many of the early believers, and it was in a letter to him that Dr. T. K.
Cheyne D.D. made his "Declaration" of belief in Baha'u'llah. He received
three Tablets from the Master and was on the National Assembly for six of
the first eight years. His teaching of the Faith was mostly in the
Altrincham area and among his workmates.

ADDENDUM FOR H. M. BALYUZI

His crowning work, "Baha'u'llah--the King of Glory" was still at the
binders when he passed away at his home in London on 12 February 1980. The
Universal House of Justice cabled the Baha'i world, "WITH BROKEN HEARTS
ANNOUNCE PASSING DEARLY LOVED HAND CAUSE ?ASAN BALYUZI. ENTIRE BAHA'I
WORLD ROBBED ONE OF ITS MOST POWERFUL DEFENDERS MOST RESOURCEFUL
