All that has been said in this "explanatory" bulletin regarding the program of The International Institute of Universal Research and Administration, would be of no avail were it not "acted upon." Unless those who have read our proclamation decide to "personally co-operate" in the promulgation of this message, they might just as well have not read it at all. Words "without actions" are like rooms without lightsthey may be "veritable treasure houses"and yet if no hand were reached out to make use of the treasures(by turning on the lights and discovering their true value)in other words, by acting upon the knowledge of the "availability" of such treasures as our words have described,there would be no reason for having written them. Were it not that the "actions" we recommend for the formation of an organization large enough to accomplish the result we have herein described, would require but little more energy than that which you might use in reaching out your hand and pressing an electric light button in Only such action on the part of many millions of men and women"and without delay"can possibly bring about the formation of a group of people sufficiently large to combat the ceaselessly growing menacenot only of Communismbut also that of another great world war; a war, the successful consummation of which will bring about the establishment of a type of human slavery so terrifying that words cannot even start to describe it. The responsibility of preventing the fulfillment of the plans of our world's incalculably wealthy Hidden Rulers, belongs as much to one as to another, and yet(if the world's "right-thinking" inhabitants are willing to act as a body and do as did the Children of Israelin their march around the walls of Jerichoand they willwith "one voice"demand that these subversive forces be forever uprooted, and that an economic system be founded upon the "Literal Signification" as well as the "Spiritual Principle" of Christ Jesus Golden Rule)such a result can be quickly brought to pass,and with but little individual effort. If you value the safety and happiness of your loved onesas well as your own securityyou will not only "act" upon the recommendations contained on the last WE STILL HAVE THE PRIVILEGES OF "FREE SPEECH" AND "THE RIGHTS OF ASSEMBLY" IN BUT A FEW OF THE WORLD'S GREAT NATIONS. HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT WE THINK, AND THE PRIVILEGE OF MEETING WITH OUR FELLOW BEINGS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RIGHTING ANY WRONGS UNDER WHICH WE MAY BE SUFFERING, WILL STILL BE GRANTED TO USIN VIEW OF THE GROWTH OF COMMUNISM AND DICTATORSHIPSNO ONE KNOWS. BUT "TODAY" IS YOURS!AND AT "THIS MINUTE""NOW!"WHILE YOU ARE READING THIS BOOK, YOU STILL HAVE THOSE PRIVILEGES. DO NOT DEPRECIATE THEIR IMPORTANCE, NOR BE DECEIVED INTO THINKING THAT THEY WILL ENDURE IN SPITE OF THE UNDERMINING INFLUENCE OF THE "ATHEISTIC TERMITES" OF COMMUNISM AND FASCISMSELFISHNESSGREEDBRUTALITYAND THE MAD AMBITION OF THE FABULOUSLY WEALTHY "MORAL IDIOTS" WHO NOW CONTROL THE WORLD'S MAJOR FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL STRUCTURES! DO NOT BE DECEIVED INTO BELIEVING THAT SUCH RIGHTS WILL EXIST WITHOUT "YOUR HELP" AND THE WEIGHT OF "YOUR INFLUENCE," (EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM TO BE EVER SO SLIGHT IN YOUR OWN EYES.) FOR Only "your help"combined with millions of other clear-thinking men and womencan prevent civilization's final overthrow by these forces!!! Only the establishment of an economic system based upon the irrevocable principle of "Universal Economic Equality,"as preachednot by the Communists and Fascistsbut by "Christ Jesus"(when He promised us that the Kingdom of Heaven was "at hand," and its limitless joys available for our happiness whenever we would practice His Golden Rule, and "equally share" the world's bounty with our fellowmen)can ever destroy the "humanly planned" and "humanly perpetuated" causes of world-wide illiteracy, poverty, and war. It is imperative that you raise your voice"now"in behalf of the establishment of such an economic system, *"There is a principle, which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance."AGAIN WE REMIND YOU THAT THIS PRINCIPLE IS"CONTEMPT PRIOR TO EXAMINATION."
