Things Aimed at by All True Harmonialists and Recommended for the Consideration of All Candidates for Aurelia.

1.	The annihilation of the debasing circumstances of caste, arising from birth or profession.
2.	The destruction of all social distinctions arising from the possession of wealth.
3.	To abolish all mere capitalists or landed proprietors who live by the industry of others, without rendering an equivalent to society for what they consume, and to invest in the whole what is monopolized by a few.
4.	To abolish all standing armies as organised bands of ruffians dangerous to liberty and promotive of indolence.
5.	To abolish the profession of Lawyers, and entirely remodel that of Physicians, and place under strict surveillance all those who can by any possibility reap any advantage from the vices or misfortune of society.
6.	To abolish the order of Priesthood under every form, however modified, and all whose trades are fostered by ignorance and human creduility.
7.	To abolish all personal retainers and servants except what are necessary to the sick, the infirm, infants or insane persons.
8.	To reduce the number of merchants, and prevent them from acquiring for themselves more than average abundance.page 28
9.	To give free scope to the physical and intellectual capacities of both men and women.
10.	To give woman, who is naturally industrious (by education and occasion), her true sphere of action, instead of allowing her to remain a slave to man and a devotee to the Goddess of Vanity.
11.	To remove every barrier (beyond the pale of consanguinity) to marital union, and make affinity of soul the only cause of marriage.
12.	To bring those who indulge in selfishness and acquisitiveness into contempt.
13.	To secure the impossibility of any one being indebted to any but the general community.
14.	To teach all to drink at the fountain from which springs the true Elixir of Life.—Temperance in all things.
15.	To give the true Philosopher's Stone—contentment in all things under a perfect equality of material wealth, and full intellectual advantages to all.
16.	To save the time spent in acquiring useless knowledge, studying dead languages, obsolete customs and the like.
17.	To save the time spent in absurd legislation and personal or party debate.
18.	To save the time and money spent in bringing from afar what can be produced at home.
19.	To save the time and money spent in constructing works of no utility to man — vain monumental structures, cathedrals churches, chapels, etc., and to direct the same into the channel of education that the rising generation may be raised to a life of harmonial holiness.
20.	To teach the true method of loving our neighbor as ourselves, and to show Christians how it is done, they having spent nearly 1,900 years in talking about it and still don't know how to practice it.

Finis.
