Unity

Evelyn F. Heywood

The great Daniel Webster wrote, "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." Though he spoke for his own country, he saw beyond the confines of his time and place. He knew that he stated an eternal fact. Other far-sighted statesmen have seen and stated this truth.

It must be clear to the thinker that the basis of Christianity is unity. Tersely its Founder summed it up in these words: "He that is not with me is against me."

Today, men battling in all parts of the world for liberty are recognizing that only in spiritual union can liberty be won. The boasted unity of evil, distrustful and distrusted both within and without, rapacious and perfidious, is ceaselessly defeated by its own motives and fears. Depending on force, its influence appeals to the craven elements in mankind. On the other hand, union in liberty opens wide the windows of heaven, assuring each one of his lawful right to be himself inspired, impelled by one common concern, the good of all.
