'This is a Day for very great things.' - 'Abdu'l-Bahá to Howard Colby Ives



Howard Colby Ives's book Portals to Freedom has been loved for over eight decades by its many readers who have been touched by its pen portraits of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. But not many know the story of his wife Mabel Rice-Wray Ives, whose dedication to the Bahá'í Faith made her a powerhouse in her own right, developing a method of public speaking that proved highly successful. Together, they formed a powerful team, giving up house and home for 20 years to travel across the United States and Canada in their desire to be of service to the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh. They taught the Bahá'í Faith in at least 74 communities in 26 states and three Canadian provinces, frequently sent to different areas by the National Teaching Committee, and although they missed each other terribly they never refused these requests.
