Differences? Yes, but Unity Too!
But never have we plowed our ground,
Waiting for explosion's sound -
Never has our sky rained horror
Made by man. God's lightning's tender -
God's worst wrath is mild as cream,
Compared to bombs of man's devising.
Oh, helpless man against himself!
Come, then, Boy Scouts, do your good deed,
Lead a hit and miss parade,
Of the years of happy peacetime.
We are one church and united.
Quakers followed Captain Morgan;
Baptists used to use the river;
Adventists, and non-adherents,
Episcopalians, simple Christians,
Presbyterians and such,
All are welcome in our one church.
Catholics are all our warm friends.
Church has long known that it's "One World."
Comment
Carson recognizes that the experiences of those who have lived through war are unlike any problem that Morganville's
citizens have experienced.
Carson suggests people aren't very different and can work together. As an example, she notes that people in Morganville are of
different faiths, yet all attend its single church. So, imagining the world as "One World" is not very difficult.
