I Believe In Liberty For All Men:

...in Any Land, In Any Country Under Modern Free Competition, To Lay Any Class Of Weak And Despised People, Be They White, Black, Or Blue, At The Political Mercy Of Their Stronger, Richer, And More Resourceful Fellows, Is A Temptation Which Human Nature Seldom Has Withstood And Seldom Will Withstand.

It Is The Wind And The Rain, O God, The Cold And The Storm That Make This Earth Of Yours To Blossom And Bear Its Fruit. So In Our Lives It Is Storm And Stress And Hurt And Suffering That Make Real Men And Women Bring The World's Work To Its Highest Perfection.

I Refused To Teach Sunday School. When Archdeacon Henry Phillips, My Last Rector, Died, I Flatly Refused Again To Join Any Church Or Sign Any Church Creed. From My 30th Year On I Have Increasingly Regarded The Church As An Institution Which Defended Such Evils As Slavery, Color Caste, Exploitation Of Labor And War.

In 1956, I Shall Not Go To The Polls. I Have Not Registered. I Believe That Democracy Has So Far Disappeared In The United States That No 'two Evils' Exist. There Is But One Evil Party With Two Names, And It Will Be Elected Despite All I Can Do Or Say.

The Problem Of The Twentieth Century Is The Problem Of The Color-line, -- The Relation Of The Darker To The Lighter Races Of Men In Asia And Africa, In America And The Islands Of The Sea.
