I am certainly not nearly so much depressed by any lack of opportunities; fors the white renters of the South today s as I am by; , the failure of so many to take ; advantage of these opportunities. ) Let's begin then, Brother Renter, bv deciding that: it?s not such abad thing to be a tenant farmer. As I have already intinpted, few of them suffer for iack of food, as many or dinary laborers do; there are always periods when they may , have rest and recreation such as other laborers hard driyen from year's end , to year's end never enjoy; the parents san rear their children in God's .open airland not have their bodies warfed by too early toil or their souls polluted by city slum life and there is always, thefurther chance that even though you are a renter, your boy may - become ji landf owner.' Already-1--have; seen in our Southern towns tired out little white boys and girls coming out df big. fac tories at dusk, hirelings of great cap italists and with no prospect that they would ever be anything else, and I have wished that they might have, the opportunities and possibilities of little Negro boys and girls playing out on the nearby farms, t J '- . . .;'. No wonder the Negro leaders- ; are 5nking God tkat the factory doors &z shut to their children! .They arei wise. The country isr the ; place f or the white renter to stay, n o matter how dark tb outlook may -sometimes be. Meam.e there are a s few basic facte about -tenancy which we need to recognize "and to Jvhich we need to adjust ourselves.
