RACE UNITY

You have written that there were several meetings of joy and happiness,

one for white and another for colored people. Praise be to God! As both

races are under the protection of the All-Knowing God, therefore the lamps

of unity must be lighted in such a manner in these meetings that no

distinction be perceived between the white and colored. Colors are

phenomenal, but the realities of men are essence. When there exists unity

of the essence what power has the phenomenal? When the light of reality is

shining what power has the darkness of the unreal? If it be possible,

gather together these two races, black and white, into one Assembly, and

put such love into their hearts that they shall not only unite but even

intermarry. Be sure that the result of this will abolish differences and

disputes between black and white. Moreover, by the Will of God, may it be

so. This is a great service to humanity.
