INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD
Lecture on Theosophical Doctrines at
BlavatskY Hall

H. A. Gibson leetured yesterday at
Blavatsky hall on What We Propose
to Do" He said in part: Man must
learn to know that he is essentially di-
vine that spiritual beings are in reality
one on the plane of soul, hence brother
hood is a fact in nature and not merely
a sentiment.
In furtherance of this doctrine there
has been formed by Mrs. Tingley an
Interna tional Brotherhood league with
the following objects:
First-To help workingmen to realize
the nobility Of their calling and their
true position in life.
Second-To educate children of ali
nations on the broadcast lines of brother
hood, and to prepare destitute and
homeless children to become workers
for humanity.
Third-To ameliorate the condition Of
unfortunate women and assist them to
a higher life.
Fourth-To assist those who have been
in prison to establish themselves in hon
orable positions in life.
Fifth-To abolish capital punishment
Sxth-To bring about better under
standing between so-called savage and
civilized races.
Seventh-To relieve human suffering
resulting from calamities, and to extend
aid and comfort to suffering humanity
throughout the world
The International Brotherhood league
is entirely unsectarian. Brotherhood
being the only binding object Of the
Theosophical society it is necessary to
realize that "helping and sharing Is
what Brotherhood means"
