Think for a moment of the condition of the world just now: how nations, communities, churches, religions, all divide humanity - the children of one Father who loves them all without distinction! Man with all his claims of civilization, of progress, seems to have fallen into the greatest error. For centuries the world has not been in such a state as it is just now: one nation hating another, looking with contempt on another. What can we call it? Is it progress, or is it stand-still? Or is it worse than that? Is this not the time when thinking souls should open their eyes from sleep and devote themselves to the effort of doing what good they can to humanity in order to better the conditions of the world and, when each one is thinking only of his own interest, to think of the interest of all?
