Long Way to Go. "Methodism has taken an enormous leap forward," says the Rev. Ralph L. Roy, a leader of the reform-minded group called Methodists for Church Renewal, but "there is a long way to go."

Moreover, few white churches are willing to accept a Negro pastor, and not many bishops seem ready yet to put their followers to that kind of test.

...ironic and sad that Lyndon Johnson, friend of the Negroes, will be defeated in November by an uneducated white populace outraged over the continuing violent demands of crusading Negroes. The ill timing of the leap forward in the civil rights field will unfortunately result in leaps backward in many fields with the inauguration of President Goldwater...
