But you find
a welcome from each other in the glance of the eye, in the
pressure of the hand, in the glad tone of the voice, better
than any that can be put into formal words.
From hand to hand the greeting goes;
From eye to eye the signals run;
From heart to heart to bright hope glows;
The seekers of the light are one.
Every Unitarian, man and woman, every lover of God or His
Son, every one who in loving his fellow-men loves God and
His Son, even without knowing it, is welcome in this company.
"We are sometimes told, as if it were a reproach, that we
cannot define Unitarianism. For myself, I thank God that
it is not to be defined. To define is to bound, to enclose, to
set limit. The great things of the universe are not to be
defined. You cannot define a human soul. You cannot define
the intellect. You cannot define immortality or eternity.
You cannot define God.
"I think, also, that the things we are to be glad of and to
be proud of and are to be thankful for are not those things
that separate us from the great body of Christians or the
great body of believers in God and in righteousness, but in
the things that unite us with them.
