Excerpt from The First Story of the Labor Church and Some Things for Which It Stands: An Address in the Strand Theatre, Winnipeg, April 5th, 1920We confess that we have not yet learned to live to gether in love and unity. We have thought too much of our own interests and too little of the common welfare. We have enjoyed and even sought special privileges. Our own gain has often involved another's loss. We are heartily sorry for these, our misdoings, the memory of them is grievous unto us.We acknowledge that we are still divided into alien groups separated from one another by barriers of language. Race and nationality, by barriers of class and creed and custom. May we overcome prejudice. May we seek to find common ground. May we recognize the beauty in other types than our own. As we claim that our own convictions should be respected. So may we respect the convictions of others. May we grow in moral stature till we can join hands over the separating walls. May we enter into the joy of a common fellowship.We have learned how imperfect is our knowledge, how narrow our vision. May we be willing to welcome truth from whatever source it comes. May we endeavor to follow the truth at whatever cost.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
