IF WE SING TOGETHER...
Singing expresses the strong feelings of the person singing and arouses them in others.
War song: and the hands tighten on the weapons.
Song of mercy: and hands join together.
Song of Fraternity: and hands are extended.
A man who sings, what is he?
An enthusiastic man. He is filled with some great ideal, which guides his thoughts, provokes his actions, causes his joys and his sorrows.
An enthusiast cannot keep what excites him to himself. He needs to get it out of himself. (EASTER Message 1959).
Remembering him with joy and gratitude.
A strong and brotherly hug.
