The Brotherhood of Man

Ivan Nylander with contributions from Frank Knox, Melbourne Brewing, Carl L. Manello, Field Marshal Jan Christiaan Smuts

Mrs. Ivan Nylander, in an article
condensed from The Lutheran Companion

We do not earn the love of other nations by setting ourselves up above them. We have a national complex about saying that we have the "largest" or the "finest" or the "greatest" in the world. We may think so, but others believe the same of their country. . . .

But what of this other kind of patriotism which is an all-embracing love of our fellow men? This is the patriotism of the Christian, the patriotism which puts God before country, and which, as a result, attains its highest expression through Him. We are told that "God so loved the world"—not China, not Russia, not Europe, not America, but the world.
