The Tabernacle of unity hath been raised;regard ye not one another as strangers. Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Consider the world of created beings, how varied and diverse they are in species, yet with one sole origin. All the differnces that appear are those of outward form and color.This diversity of type is apparent throughout the whole of nature. Behold a beautiful garden full of flowers, shrubs, and trees. Each flower has a different charm, a peculiar beauty, its own delicious perfum and beautiful color. The trees too, how varied are they in size, in growth, in foliage- and what different fruits they bear! yet all these flowers, shrubs and trees spring from the self-same earth, the same sun shines upon them and the same clouds give them rain. So it is with humanity. It is made up of many races, and its peoples are different color, white, black, yellow,...- but they all come from the same God ( one divine being) this diversity among the children of men has unhappily not the same effect as it has among the vegetable creation, where the spirit shown is more harmonious. Among men exists the diversity of animosity, and it is that causes war and hatered among the different nations of the world. Differnces, which are only those of blood, also cause them to destroy and kill one another. Alas!that this should still be so. Let us look rather at the beauty in diversity, the beauty of harmony, and learn a lesson from the vegtable creation. If you beheld a garden in which all the plants were the same as to form, color, and perfume, it would not seem beautiful to you at all, but, rather, momotonous and dull. The garden which is pleasing to the eye and which makes the heart glad, is the garden which are growing side by side flowers of every hue, form and perfume, and the joyous contrast of color is what makes for charm and beauty. so is it with trees.An orchard full of fruit trees is a delight, so is a plantation planted with many species of shrubs. it is just the diversity and variety that constitutes its charm; each flower, each tree, each fruit, beside being beautiful in itself, brings out by contrast the qualities of the others, and shows to advantage the special loveliness of each and all. Thus should it be among the children of men! the diversity in the human family should be the cause of love and harmony, as it is in music where many different notes blend together in the making of a perfect chord. if you meet those different race and religion from yourself, do not mistrust them and withdraw yourself into your shell of conventionality, but rather be glad and show them kindness. Think of them as different colored roses growing in the beautiful garden of humanity, and rejoice to be among them. Likewise, when you meet those whose opinions differ from your own, do not turn away your face from them. All are seeking truth, and there are many roads leading thereto.Truth has many aspects, but it remains always and forever one. Do not allow difference of opinion, or diversity of thought to seperate you from your felow men, or to be the cause of dispute, hatred, and strife in your hearts. Rather, search diligently for the truth and make all men your friends.

Of one Essence is the human race,Thusly has Creation put the Base;
One Limb impacted is sufficient,For all others to feel the Mace
