e from the highest and most
sympathetic white men, he will go forth among his own people as their
Apostle, their true Bishop and Father in God. In this double relation,
in this position of high responsibility, he will stand forth as a true
mediator between the races, pleading with both for peace, harmony,
justice.

This action of the Church, this frank and fair position given to the
negro will so appeal to the better class of the leading negroes, will so
cheer and encourage them in their true progress, that they will come, I
believe, steadily and largely into the Church.

From this line of thought, which grows clearer and clearer to me the
more I read and think and see, I look forward with hope to a wise and
fair adjustment of the relation between the races of this land, and to a
happy future for a part of the negro race--how large a part God only
knows. Towards this adjustment this Church of ours can make a rich
contribution; and I believe she has, under God, a great part to play in
enlarging the choice remnant and in bringing it to its true salvation.
