THE ADOPTED REPORT.
This Committee held its meetings on November 18th, 19th
and 20th, and now makes its formal Report, as follows:
Your Committee recommends the formation of a New Thought
Federation, which shall be international in scope and character.
Your Committee recommends, as one of the means of effecting
this purpose, ths statement and acceptance of a comprehensive
and definite formulation of the essential significance and meaning
of the New Thought.
Your Committeej-ecommends that the fundamental purpose
of this international Federation be the development of the
individual, its especial office being to assist in the unfoldment of
the consciousness of unity of principle, and its fulfillment in
cooperation among New Thought people; that this Federation, as
such, shall have no creed, tenets or teachings; that it shall in
nowise interfere with or infringe upon the interpretations or
methods either of New Thought persons or New Thought
organizations; that it shall not be responsible for individual,
interpretations of Truth or methods of teaching; and that it shall
aid and assist the New Thought movement as a whole.
Your Committee recommends that this Federation shall
constitute a "Clearing House" for the New Thought, in regard
to work and workers, teachings and teachers, and assist to widen
and broaden individual perception and realization of fundamental
principles; that it shall be the centre of the New Thought
movement; that it shall publish such literature as may be deemed
essential to the ends proposed, and that it take an active part in
. all matters appertaining to the education of the individual.
Your Committee suggests the following formulation of the
significance and meaning of the New Thought, but believes and
expects that further deliberation and consideration will result in
one more accurate and acceptable:
The New Thought is the new interpretation of universal and
eternal Truth.
God — Universal Spirit, Mind, Principle — is omnipresent,
omniscient and omnipotent.
