CHRISTIAN UNITY
In a letter to a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, Mary Baker Eddy once wrote: "The chain of Christian unity, unbroken, stretches across the sea and rises upward to the realms of incorporeal Life—even to the glorious beatitudes of divine Love. Striving to be good, to do good, and to love our neighbor as ourself, man's soul is safe; man emerges from mortality and receives his rights inalienable—the love of God and man" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 200).
The love of God and man bases Christian unity, and nothing less can guarantee unity. And when obedience to God's law of love is cherished, placed before every other consideration in mankind's various dealings with one another, there can be no separation of interests and aims—religious, political, economical, philanthropic.
The wolf may attempt to scatter the sheep, but Christian unity survives and thrives; what is real can never be separated, because it has one Principle. But the wolf must be dealt with if much sorrow is to be avoided. The wolf is material sense, the impersonal error which sets men against each other, impels personal recrimination, and would undo the Christian growth of centuries. The wolf is the anti-Christ, the opposite of Christian unity, and should be handled as such.
