Mr, Stead's Appeal t o His R eaders, 



July, 1906. 



I appeal to all those who, like myself, are ycurg of heart ant) strong in faith and full of 

 love for their fellow-men to become associates in attempting to realise any of the following 

 ideals to which, from its foundation, "The Review of Reviews" has been the exponent and 

 champion : - 



1. International brotherhood on the basis of justice and national freedom, manifesting 

 itself in universal entente ccrdialc, Anglo-American reunion, intercolonial intimacy 

 and helpful sympathy with subject races ; and international arbitration. 



i. The Reunion of all Religions on the twofold basis of the union of all who lovo in the 

 service of all who suffer, and the scientific investigation of the law of Cod as re- 

 vealed In the material and spiritual world. 



3. The Recognition of the Humanity and Cltizcnshi)) of Woman, embodied In the saying. 



Whatsoever ye would that woman would do unto you, do ye oven so unto her. 



4. Tho Improvement of the Condition of the People, having as our guiding principle, 



" Put yourself in their place and think how you would like it. " 



5. The quickening and inspiration of Life, by the promotion of reading, physical training, 



open-air games, etc.
