THE TRUE BROTHERHOOD

From the March 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I see an endless brotherhood,
Unlimited, divine;
By stronger ties than human blood,
Their being reaches mine.

No more I shame to own as kin
What once seemed mean or low;
Since God has set his seal within,
Caste I no longer know.

I see beneath the lifting shade,
I read the truth within;
What God has in his image made,
Is pure and knows not sin.

O glorious brotherhood of man,
Not veiled by sense and strife;
A part of God's all–perfect plan,
One mind, one soul, one life!
