Universal brotherhood -- the keen realization of the spiritual and natural oneness of humankind -- is the only key to a peace that will last, a peace of conviction and sincerity. Hundreds of examples can be found every day of the misuse of the highest principles, of the perversion of high ideals and great truths, of the planting of the seeds of dissension and the spirit of warfare among men, of the persistent endeavor of the lower forces to destroy the glorious work of brotherhood. Unbrotherliness is the insanity of the age. It menaces in no small degree the progress of our civilization. Its power cannot be broken or destroyed until man has had ingrained into his heart and mind the fact that he is divine in nature, until he realizes that he possesses the immortal potentiality of good, that true freedom exists only where the higher law holds in subjection the lower. Not until he seeks to gain the ascendancy over his lower nature can he do his highest duty to his fellowmen, or be a brother in the truest sense of the word, or live in the freedom of Freedom. Let us hope with that grander hope of the soul, the energy of right action, that the day is not far distant when the great sweeping force of love -- of true brotherliness -- shall encompass humanity, when the knowledge of right living shall be in the grasp of all and shall be lived in the truest sense of the word, when children shall be conceived and educated in the atmosphere of purest thought and grander action. Then, and not till then, shall humanity commence to build the solid foundation of a golden age and work in the kingdom of freedom. Every lover of justice is making an appeal to the conscience of the world because war is a deathly curse to civilization. Is it ordained that children must be born to be sacrificed in blood as tributes to greed and power? Take warning ere it is too late! The brotherly love I have seen displayed by the Zionist here seems to be limited to the brotherhood of Zionists. World peace does not require praying for God to handle it. The instructions were very clear. Love your brother as your self. Limiting brotherhood to religious sects creates only wars which we have witnessed to a lesser degree in this small group.
