"The United Seas"

by Robert W. Rogers

* * * * *

Blessed are the meek, those possessing the childlike but world view point of Christ, for they shall inherit the environment of the earth.

* * * * *

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness. For the ethics of true religion is to be sifted from the chaff of superstition, and righteousness is to cover the whole earth as the waters cover the seas.

* * * * *

Blessed are the merciful nations. For they shall obtain mercy in return from other nations, and learn that impulsive retaliation is too costly and that patient and honorable conciliation makes for world peace and national prosperity.

* * * * *

Blessed are the peacemakers. For now that the nations have entered through the united seas into a neighborhood; they—by encouraging disarmament and teaching the gospel of contact as well as good will—will hasten the day when the nations can live together without war in the spirit of council and peace.
