Mutual Work

MUTUAL WORK 573 done by, the world would not be one of strife and struggle and force. It is because nations, like individuals, have not overcome their selfishness and hatred that the world is in turmoil much of the time. An ancient philosopher once said: "Hatred cannot be overcome by hatred," and that is as true now as then. Only by love of service for others, rather than by exploitation of others' service, can the world be brought to a unity. The one who can give his services in unity with others has much more liberty than the one who is subject to the dictates of others. And this is true with nations, too, as with individuals. Service in unity with others is given free and no slavery is attached to it, neither is the hope of reward nor stipend other than the satisfaction of a worthy purpose. The advance that has been made in the United States, as compared with other countries, has been due largely to our motto, E. Pluribus Unum — one composed of many — or unity. Lincoln's vision moved him to say, "This is a country of the people, by the people, and for the people," and on that motto we have prospered as a nation. The M Men have an excellent opportunity for putting into practice the motto "Unity for Service." If you expect, young men, to accomplish the purpose for which the M Men organization was created, there must be concord and agreement among you for the performance of mutual work in the broadest sense of that term. Two M. I. A. Organizations in East Pennsylvania John A. Clark, president of the East Pennsylvania conference, reports that: "At the present time we have two complete organizations of the Mutual Improvement Association perfected and both are doing a splendid work."
