He should not have been quite so dismayed, since Mary Moran's essay went on to express the wish that people would relearn "the art of thankfulness," by balancing their hopes against what they can realistically attain...

Only in a revitalized religion, says Marshall, can blacks find the spiritual energy to win and keep power. Marshall's parting benediction at Sunday services, appropriately, is "Peace and power." His Tuesday-night sermons during Lent dwelt on the power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives.
