#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 1017
well-defined and strictly regulated departments, general divisions
and sections, no such success as we now celebrate would have
been possible.
If the so-called Secularists or Freethinkers were denied admis-
sion to the Religious Congresses, it was not from any personal
ill-will, but because they had no religious faith to affirm, and no
religious achievements to set forth. If the Mormon church was
not admitted to the Parliament of Religions, it was not because of
any discrimination against its religious faith, but for the reason
that its disclaimer of a practice forbidden by the laws of the
country had not become sufficiently established to warrant
such admission. In both these cases, and in some others of a
less conspicuous character, the action of the World's Congress
Auxiliary was in conformity with the highest rules of charity
and justice. No attack wTas made on any excluded interest or
organization.
The extraordinary merit of the proceedings of the whole series
of Congresses renews our confidence that the Government of the
United States, wffiich sent our publications and communications
throughout the world, and gave the World's Congress Auxiliary
an exalted position as the duly authorized agency to organize and
conduct the World's Congresses of 1893, will furnish the means
to publish the entire proceedings in an encyclopedic form; and
send the same to the colleges, the universities and the leading
libraries of the countries which have participated in the World's
Columbian Exposition, as the most appropriate, enduring and
valuable testimonial of the appreciation by the American people
of the co-operation and aid of the other peoples of the world in
the great events of this quadro-centennial year. To that end, let
all who have been interested in the Congresses, exert their in-
fluence in favor of such a publication and distribution.
In one of the earlier publications of the World's Congress Aux-
iliary, it was declared to be our purpose to bring all the depart-
ments of human progress into harmonious relations with each other;
to crown the whole glorious wTork by the formation and adoption
of better and more comprehensive plans than have hitherto
