suit IN America Of the recent war has
been the coming together of white peo-
pie and black people in, an entirely
unprecedented scale in frank and toll
erent discussion of whatever difficult
tieg and Misunderstanding may exist
between them. In my own judgment,
the greatest step in this direction
made in the last decade is the work
Of the Inter-Racial Commission with
headquarters In Atlanta, Georgia. This
is movement born in the South and
directed by southerners in which
representative men and women OF
both races have united to create a
new body OF public opinion on the
race question based upon founda-

It is well to remember that IN all

pies and policy Of Tuskegee and

In his conclusion he urged that

In word. my friends, The great
lesson for the world to Iee a at this

son Of mutual understanding and CO.

Tho want Of these things affects the
relations between nations OF the same
race as well as men and women Of
different races The world has reach

further proghess without cooperation
II would seem thlt some people
would have Learned that lesson from
1he Great War, but you and / know
T1o ysS have Is learn that. Lesson
people ia all parts OF the world and
people In all races.
Ia seembs to me that as much as
anything else. II Is your duty and
mine a. missionaries In whatever
field. TO cultivate in every way pos
slblo The spirit OF co-opera5lon. and
this Is most effectively done by show
ing in our own attitude and In our
own methods the results fhae can be
Outlined only by cooperation. And
what else Is the gospel Of Jesus Christ
but this: that God himself has gone
FAR out OF His way. as Il were, to CO.
perate with men IN the redemption
" His way, as Il were. to cooperate
with men I'M the redemption OF the
world. This Il the practical Christian

taainot iise those that are fallen; II
b. this means we cannot rest6f those
who err; II BY his means we cannot
save those that are lost; then the
world IS lost indeed. We are HELPLESS
and hopeless.
