better race relations, DR.. Eddy said
that Negroes can go to the schools,
colleges and other public places in
New York City, but that there are
many churches that do not want
Negroes to attend or belong to
them. He told of visiting white
church in New York City and sit
ting in the balcony next to a Ne
gro. The Holy Communion was be-
ing administered and he asked the
Negro if he was going to take the
communion and the Negro said
that he would not be permitted to
do so.
Mr.. Eddy said that he promptly
left the church, because sit was
not our Lords communion, but a
communion of white supremacy.
