THE UNITY THAT BINDS US
BY John S. Knight


Chicago Daily News
Carl Sandburg celebrated his 18th birthday in Chicago
January 9Th. this year.
Those who attended the big celebration dinner got
mir copies Of poem the guest of honor had recently
written.
Here is the poem:
There is only horse the earth
and his is All Horses.
There is only bird in the air
and his name is All Wings.
There is only fish in the
and his is All Fins.
There is only in the world
and his is All Men.
There is only in the world
and her name is All Women
There is only child in +he world
and the chlds is All Children.
There is only Maker in the world
and His children the earth
and they named All Gods Children"
This is beautiful expression of the unity that underies
the diversity of human life and of all living things.
Let thank God for the rich and marvellous differences
among His creatures. Among His human children every group
every personality has special endowment that enches
the inheritance TO which all heirs.
But let thank God devoutIy for the unity
that binds together
In the common fate Of Gods children share the
processes Of BIRTH growth decline and DEATH We have similar
shares Joy and hope None however he may to be
favored achievement his portion of
disappointment, bereavement and grief.
Equally need the sustaining of brotherhood with
all who strive along with each succeeding in
and in measure failing.
May Brotherhood Week in 953 bring large reward in
mutual love and Understandings and in practical measures
express them.
