has received help and support that was
little dreamed of. The two races have
been brought together on the ground OF
common needs of humanity. We have
given white people a chance which
they have long desired-a chance to
help the Negro without compromise or
embarrassment. They have met us
more than half way.
Il am most anxious that we shall
continue to be sane and wise in what
we do and say, and not be swept of
our feet by those who feel that the
great problems of humanity can be
solved by abusing those with whom
we do not agree
Reports from delegates, including
many women showed clearly that hun
dreds of rural communities are waking
w to the possibility of making genuine
progress by having people work to-
gether for common economic and so
cial interests, regardless of religious
or fraternal affiliations. Ideas gathered
at preceding meetings have been car
ried to distant rural districts, and have
been the means of em~ancipating thou
sands from the bonds of poor health,
inferior schools and unattractive
homes and churches.
