on a postal card, stating which list you wish to be enrolled in. I will
send a blank and an enrollment paper (for awhile at least) to each who
enrolls as a promoter or tract distributor, and will send a copy of the
revised plan, in November, free to each of the first fifty promoters or
tract distribtors enrolled. Sixteen have written to me favoring the plan
for the evolution of Freethought and wisdom. Most of them have prom­
ised to help promote it in some way; seven of them by distributing tracts
two will try to start scientific meetings, four have written articles to help
on the first tract, one is preparing to hold debates this winter etc etc
After the first tract and revised plans have h^en printed and are ready
for use, the enrollment ought to proceed rapidly; hut we ought to have
many more distributors enrolled before the first tract is printed for they
can t reach the people without help. Has not each Freethinker a duty
to perforin to liberate and elevate his fellow citizens, or are these too
waiting for a god to do everything for them? Do your duty, whether

the next man does or not, and perhaps he may follow your example
I ease concentrate all your thoughts on the second tract subject:
alse Claims of Christianity. Science Promotes Civilization.” In the
plan as outlined in the T orch of March 25th, you will find one para­
graph on “false claims” which will do for a guide. Send all helps for
the tract to me, instead of to the T orch ; I am to select the best and s-nd
themi to the editor. Don’t think you must write a long article. Some

can do that, but I prefer that most of the helpers should send me short
letters; only two or three of your best arguments, or telling examples nr
quotations, so I can select from a half dozen letters, the best from each, I

me during October. Four helped me on the first tract and I want four­
teen to help on the second. Which of the four deserves the honor of
fielping most / Each reader can judge for himself.
