The colored people should not urge that they be placed on an equality with white people. The relation of the two races has been a matter hard to deal with, and I fear that it will ever remain a most perplexing problem. So far as possible, everything that would stir up the race prejudice of the white people should be avoided. There is danger of closing the door so that our white laborers will not be able to work in some places in the South. {9T 214.3}

Negrene bør ikke stræbe efter at opnå ligestilling med den hvide befolkning. Forholdet mellem de to racer har været et vanskeligt spørgsmål at behandle og jeg frygter for, at det vil vedblive at være en indviklet opgave at løse. Såvidt muligt bør man undgå at gøre noget, som vil vække den hvide befolknings racefordom. Der er fare for, at døren skal blive så forsvarlig lukket, at vore hvide prædikanter ikke får anledning til at virke på visse steder i Sydstaterne.
