There was a message relating to the three objects of TS and the contention
that anyone who is in sympathy with the first object - Universal
Brotherhood. Following is a quote:

        "An exceptionally large Annual Convention was held in Chicago. Dr.
Besant spoke on two Resolutions which were presented. She affirmed that she
had steadily followed the rulings of Colonel Olcott: that no one is bound to
adopt one opinion as the opinion of the Society; to keep the platform of the
Society so broad that anyone could come into it who believes in
Brotherhood."  (1926)

        pp.24 - The 75th Anniversary Book of TS. 1950 - Josephine Ransom.

I think an affirmation from then President of TS is of great importance as I
am sure if the rest of objects were critical to membership, then it would
have been mentioned.
