All menare but one fold, and God the loving Shepherd.

It should be conducive to unity, rather than bethe cause of enmity and hate. Should it lead to enmity andhate better not have it at all. For religion is even as medicine,which if it should aggravate the disease, its abandonmentwould be preferred.Likewise, religious, racial, national, and political prejudice,all are subversive of the foundation of human society,all lead to bloodshed, all heap ruin upon mankind. So longas these remain, the dread of war will continue. The soleremedy is universal peace. And this is achieved only bythe establishment of a supreme Tribunal, representative ofall governments and peoples. All national and internationalproblems should be referred to this tribunal, and whatsoeverbe its decision that should be enforced.
