They never met - the young Indian lawyer put off a train in Africa...the blonde child preaching atop a drum on a London street corner...the Swedish munitions magnate with a guilty conscience...the pink-cheeked boy pumping the organ in a little Alsatian church. Yet, united by a common dream and well known to grateful millions, they have influenced incalculably for good the world we know. Their names were Mahatma Gandhi, Evangeline Booth, Alfred Nobel and Albert Schweitzer; their extraordinary compassion has made them memorable. And there are the Four Chaplains who gave their lives to save others when the "Dorchester" sank during World War II. Indeed, over the years there have been - both known and unrecorded - countless men and women who merged their energies in cooperative efforts to heal, to serve and to bridge gulfs of misunderstanding. Here are their stories, and the stories of pioneer altruistic organizations - such as the Hope Ship, UNICEF, and the Peace Corps - and many more individuals who have devoted their talents toward the realization of the Golden Rule, the ethical basis of all great religions and man's first, best prescription for peace - universal brotherhood.
