THE PERMANENT HAPPY EXISTENCE OF THE HUMAN RACE or the Commencement of the Millennium in 1855

All Governments, Religions, Classes, Sects, and parties, in all countries, are invited to appoint and send delegates to a meeting to be held in the Metropolis of the British Empire, on Monday, 14th May next, in St Martin's Hall, to hear explained “Glad Tidings of Great Joy to all Mankind,” which will include the principles and the plain and easy practice by which all Governments may make, with the aid of their respective religions every one from birth, good, intelligent, wise, united to all, and permanently prosperous and happy.

And as a preliminary measure, the United Trades of this Metropolis are invited to elect and send delegates to a Meeting to be held in St. Martin's Hall, January 1st, 1855, at 7 p.m., to have explained to them that they may explain to their constituents in London, and to their fellow work-men over Great Britain and Ireland, the course which will be recommended them to adopt at the Great Meeting of Universal Delegates, to be held as stated 14th May, on which day will be declared a coming change in the condition of the human race without revolution or violence, to be effected in peace, with order, wise foresight, and without injury to any one of any class in any country, but with high lasting benefit to all who shall from birth be placed within these new conditions.

Let all who shall attend these two meetings, come in the spirit of pure charity for all men, and a right good-will to aid and benefit them regardless of their class, creed, country or colour.

There will be no deception or secrecy in these proceedings, but the whole will be conducted with “Truth without mystery, mixture of error, or fear of man.” And the glory of this elevation of mankind to a new phase in their condition will be alone to the God of the Universe who evidently worketh all things in regular progress for the ultimate good and happiness of man.

London, Nov. 25, 1854. ROBERT OWEN.
