When lines are drawn, men unconsciously, as it were, keep on their own side.

So, in colored churches and schools the whites are at a discount because it is easier and more congenial to employ colored help.

Colored people are like white people.

When they see nothing but white ministers in the white churches they conclude that it is best to have nothing but colored ministers in their own pulpits, and they are perfectly consistent and logical in their conclusion; the rule which actuates mankind in such matters being, not the biblical one, which enjoins that we do unto others as we _would have them_ do unto us, but, rather, do unto others as _they do_ unto us; and this latter rule would seem to be better adapted for worldly success than the former, because it has more of the practical than the theoretical about it, and is more earthly than heavenly in its observance.

The same is true of schools and school teachers.
