THE LEAGUE OF PATRIOTS. 



From all oven Australasia come letters from readers who are anxious to 

 help on the cause of Social Reform. These letters are inspiring. But I want 

 more yet, one in every centre in Australasia. From cities and towns and 

 remote country districts, and the heart of the bush, has come the reply, " I

 " Review of Reviews," Equitable Building, Melbourne.
