Again I say, I AM not representing a creed. I AM not representing a race. I AM not representing a color. All such expressions in their limited divers divisions are curses. They are curses to themselves by segregation. It is written in the Scripture, and I verify the same: "Where there is division there is strife, but where there is unity, there is strength."

Everything that divides against others is a curse in itself. It is a strife and it is a curse in itself, even if it is not conscious of it; therefore, come together and love ye one another, all ye inhabitants of America. For as it was with the desire of Jesus concerning Jerusalem, He desired to hover her (Jerusalem) as a hen hovers her brood, yea, as a hen hover her brood, even so desire I to hover you, oh, ye America, with this Light of Understanding.
