 "Our people in the South will be urg- ed. as indeed they have been in the past, 10 remain in their homes where the gospel found them We hink that our ideas will be helpful where they are made to obtain in respect of~ ths race question of the South.
 Tt Is a commandment of God with us that there should he no smalgama- ton between the white ra ee and ths black: and that each race should he taught to preserve itself from such amalgamatiou. The heaviest church disabilities would result with us from the violation of such views. and I take if that race amalgamation touches a fundamental point in the solution of your race problem"
