On the ninth day of my pilgrimage, January 19th, 1955, we were again in the presence of Ruhiyyih Khanum when the Guardian arrived. She joined him, and then I proceeded to the door of his room. When I heard him say, “Befarmaid, Befarmaid!” I entered, greeted him, and took a seat. He wanted to know what I had done that day. I told him that we had visited the archives, and he wanted to know which archives—the small or main one. I answered that we had seen the main one. He wanted to know if we had seen the photograph of His Holiness Baha’u’llah, the painting of His Holiness the Bab, and the picture of the Master, and I answered that we had seen them all. He recounted how he had gathered many Holy relics and kept track of the names of the donors, writing these out in English and in Farsi and how he was busy erecting the buildings of the World Center which would consist of multiple buildings. The first would be the International Archives building. In the second and third epochs of the history of the Faith, the other buildings would be built. This construction would continue until the Golden Age. Mr. Remey, the Hand of the Cause of God, had designed the Archives building, the significance of which was not yet known to the believers but would be in the future.
