Disciples of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

From Bahaikipedia

The Disciples of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, also 'Heralds of the Covenant', were a group of nineteen western Bahá’ís designated as such by Shoghi Effendi.

They were:

• John Esslemont
• Thornton Chase
• Howard MacNutt
• Sarah Farmer
• Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney
• Lillian Kappes
• Robert Turner
• Arthur Brauns
• Lua Getsinger
• Joseph Hannan
• Chester I. Thatcher
• Charles Greenleaf
• Isabella D. Brittingham
• Mrs. Thornburgh
• Helen S. Goodall
• Arthur P. Dodge
• William H. Hoar
• J.G. Augur
• William Randall^{[citation needed]}

Two lists naming the Disciples appear in Volume III (pp. 84-5) and Volume IV (pp. 118-119) of The Baha'i World. The lists are not the same. The name of the person at #8 is different, but the photograph is the same. In Vol. III he is listed as Dr Arthur Brauns. In Vol IV he is listed as Albert Schwarz. Both are described as "pioneer worker for the Faith in Germany."
