poor alike, to make them financially
independent of each other! Then, freed from the thraldom of selfishness,
they could discover and appreciate, each for themselves, the true object
and purpose of human life. For this reason, our new educational
movement, must be so arranged, that it may successfully appeal to all
classes.

"For the industrial classes, the agriculturalists and the artisans, we

this peaceful campaign. From you, it will demand extraordinary activity,
courage and administrative ability; reinforced by large sums of money.
Fortunately, the Fenwick fortune is ample. Use it without stint. Fenwick
Hall, is roomy and well fitted for the headquarters of the New Crusade;
and for the housing of its organizing staff; which, from the magnitude
of the work, will be a large one. A bureau of literature must be formed.
A newspaper and a magazine, devoted to the cause of the Crusade, must be
published. They must be the be
