More sobering than sermons are the statistics of the Southern Education Reporting Service, which last week added up this year's gains in Southern school integration. Negroes make up about one-quarter (3,097,534) of all Southern public school students. But only 195,625 are in integrated schools, and the District of Columbia accounts for 81,392 of them.

But they regard communion as only commemorative of the Last Supper...
