Winifred Emma May - Unity

We depend upon each other, each one in
his own small way - giving something
of himself in terms of service day by day -
working for his own reward yet adding to the
common good. Half our troubles would be
ended if this truth were understood.
We are bound by unseen cords and every-
thing we say and do - tends to help or harm
another. Let us try then to pursue - nothing
that would cause division, hate, unrest or
jealousy. Put no strain upon the ties of fellow-
ship and unity.
All our lives are interwoven. On each other
we rely. Brain and brawn must work together,
letting ancient grudges die. At the desk and
at the plough, in mine and mill and factory.
All are needed in the drive for peace and for
prosperity.
