and result. Therefore it is evident that no means but an ideal means, a
spiritual power, divine bestowals and the breaths of the Holy Spirit will
heal this world sickness of war, dissension and discord. Nothing else is
possible; nothing can be conceived of. But through spiritual means and the
divine power it is possible and practicable.

Consider history. What has brought unity to nations, morality to peoples
and benefits to mankind? If we reflect upon it we will find that
establishing the divine religions has been the greatest means toward
accomplishing the oneness of humanity. The foundation of divine reality in
religion has done this; not imitations of ancestral religious forms.
Imitations are opposed to each other and have ever been the cause of
strife, enmity, jealousy and war. The divine religions are collective
centers in which diverse standpoints may meet, agree and unify. They
accomplish oneness of nativities, races and policies. For instance, His
Holiness Christ united various nations, brought peace to warring peoples
and established the oneness of human kind. The conquering Greeks and
Romans, the prejudiced Egyptians and Assyrians were all in a condition of
strife, enmity and war but His Holiness gathered these varied peoples
together and removed the foundations of discord; not through racial,
patriotic or political power but through divine power, the power of the
Holy Spirit. This was not otherwise possible. All other efforts of men and
nations remain as mere mention in history, without accomplishment.

As this great result is contingent upon divine power and bestowals, where
shall the world obtain that power? God is eternal and ancient; not a new
God. His sovereignty is of old, not recent; not merely existent these five
or six thousand years. This infinite universe is from everlasting. The
sovereignty, power, names and attributes of God are eternal, ancient. His
names presuppose creation and predicate His existence and will. We say God
is creator. This name creator appears when we connote creation. We say God
is the provider. This name presupposes and proves the existence of the
provided. God is love. This name proves the existence of the beloved. In
the same way God is mercy, God is justice, God is life, etc., etc.
Therefore as God is creator, eternal and ancient, there were always
creatures and subjects existing and provided for. There is no doubt that
divine sovereignty is eternal. Sovereignty necessit
