Excerpt from Through the Second Gate: Baptists in Action Among New Americans

The Outer Gateway to America has swung wide and free and through it thirty million Of human folks have passed in the last one hundred years. Eager, expectant, from everywhere they came with high hopes and bright dreams. TO enter was Heaven. TO be turned back meant black despair.

But this gate is an Iron Gate. It admits these newcomers to industrial America, to her mills and mines, her grind and grime, to her sub-american slums and her ugly foreign colonies. Mutterings and rumblings Of subterranean discontent and nu rest portend danger and menace to America. Back through this gate have turned millions, dis illusioned Of their bright dreams, bereft Of their high hopes, with enthusiasm and health left be hind ih what they had once spoken Of as the Promised Land.
