Summary
It could prove disastrous if any kind of division should occur among the
colonies at this time. Differences will always exist but in times like these they should
be subordinated to the overall good. We should bury all ecclesiastical disputes which
throughout the ages have had no other tendency than of banishing peace and charity from
the world.
