can think they are doing justice TO themselves aud
advancing the great work of Mans Social Regenc-
ration. We want those who have clear pcrcep-
ton of the dire curses Of Civilization and who are
animated by true love for the Associative prlncl-

love for money ever carry out the principles OF

With regard TO religious sentiments our Rules
guarantee perfect freedom in opinion and action.
We want those who are willing TO do unto others
as they would have others do unto them, but we
wish them al the time TO be tree from partisan
feeling and sectariau prejudice. If they are not,
they had better remain in state Of society better
suited and more congcnia to their feelings and prn

We are ready at all times to give Information OF
our situation and progress, and we pledge ourselves
TO give true and correct statement OF the actual
situation of the Phalanx. We pledge ourselves
that there shall not be found variance between our
written and published statements and the statements
appearing upon our records. Those OF our mem
beers now upon the ground are composed princi'
pally OF the former members OF the SanSamon AS
ISOLATION We expect a number OF our members
from Ohio this Fall, and many more of them in the
Spring. We have applications for information and
membership from different directions, and expect
large accessions in numbers and capital during the
coming year We can extend our DOMAIN 10 suit
our own convenience, as, in this land OF pralrles
and pure atmosphere we are not hemmed IN by
Civilization 10 the same extent that exists in other
States. We have elbow-room, and there is no dan
ger of tramping upon each others toes and then
fighting about 1t.
The citizens of this State are well prepared for
Association. They are, TO great extent, freed
from the prciudces and bigory which pervade
every nook and corner Of the Older States. There
is here feeling Of lberality-a spirit OF inquiry
before which spurious Civilization cannot long make
headway We cay TO all friends of Association
come West; 10 the land OF suckers and liberal
opinions. But we say al the same time. don come,
until you convinced II is for your interests and
the interest of the cause Of Association that you
should come. If you are not yet tired of paying
onerous interests and rents and thus expending all
your energies afford food for the horse leech apPe-
tites of the land sharks OF Civilizations Tor the sake
Of your own satisfaction remain and pay interest
and rents until you are tired OF IT, Then come and
if we don't suit you; form Phaanxes under rules 10
suit yourselves. IF you can go into an organism OF
Groups and Series in twcnty-tour hours you can
do SO here as quick as any other place, and II you
do progress thus rapidly and succeed we Will not
only extend TO you our best wishes; but VIII also
acknowledge that you are not only ahead OF us IN
knowledge ofthe Science of Association, but that you
are also ahead of Nature herself in her most minute
and in her vastest operations But seriously if you
have had difficulties which have operated against

which we are all laborinG TO serrch for the cause oil

We have not vet made our experiment ana Will al
all times be thankful for the experience OF others
and will try to profit by it. We do not claim that
our Rules arc perfect but we wish TO make them SO;
being firmly convinced that the Science taught by
Fourier will ultimately lead us into true Association
if we follow il science, and that we must have
some correct rules OF progress to govern US during
the transition period from Civilization to Association
We would urge all the friends of Association TO eX
ert themselve with unwearied and unwaverng ener.
