Quotations

"There is no future for a Christian world but in truly and generously respecting the dignity of all men, and in working relentlessly that some equality of opportunity be common to all races and classes. . . There must come a sharing of all food, and of all culture." (Mission to the North, p. 325, 1941; photo Wikipedia)
