Excerpt from The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity: An Elementary Treatise Upon Man's Past Evolution, Present Constitution and Future Development<br><br>Creed or Christ<br><br>No man loves God who hates his kind,<br>Who tramples on his brothers heart and soul;<br>Who seeks to shackle, cloud, or fog the mind<br>By fears of hell has not perceived our goal.<br><br>God-sent are all religions blest;<br>And Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life,<br>To give the heavy-laden rest<br>And peace from sorrow, sin, and strife.<br><br>Behold the Universal Spirit came<br>To all the churches, not to one alone;<br>On Pentecostal morn a tongue of flame<br>Round each apostle as a halo shone.<br><br>Since then, as vultures ravenous with greed,<br>We oft have battled for an empty name,<br>And sought by dogma, edict, creed.<br>To send our brothers to the flame.<br><br>Is Christ then twain Was Cephas. Paul,<br>To save the world, nailed to the tree<br>Then why divisions here at all<br>Christ's love enfolds both you and me.<br><br>His pure sweet love is not confined<br>By creeds which segregate and raise a wall.<br>His love enfolds, embraces human-kind,<br>No matter what ourselves or Him we call.<br><br>Then why not take Him at His word<br>Why hold to creeds which tear apart<br>But one thing matters, be it heard.<br>That brother-love fill every heart.<br><br>There's but one thing the world has need to know,<br>There's but one balm for all our human woe;<br>There's but one way that leads to heaven above -<br>That way is human sympathy and love.
