best progress possible and give our
aid to any movement that shalt helm to
bring about that day which poets
have sung and which philosophers have
dreamed. and for which the masses of
the people have always found it nee
essary to struggle: that day, or dawn
of day, that shall bring in universal
peace and brotherhood"
