This enthusiastic theorist then shows that
all religions are derived from the dark races
He calls to us from the tombs of Egypt,
and solves the Sphynx riddle of our ma
tional destiny. That solution is this; that
''iI we would NIL our proper places in ma
ture we must mingle r blood with all the
children of the common father of humani-
ty." Thus and thus only can we hope for
redemption by pure religion. The cold
skepticism of the Caucasian will then be
expunged in the more genial faith which
miscegenation will produce. Hear him:

faith. In the beautiful words Of Emerson
'He has the avenues to God

The writer then goes on to show what
this miscegen will become physiologically.
He will be the realization of the ideal, not

perfect ideal of the blended racesl The
artist is called in to adorn by the rarest
touches of the facile pencil this production
of advanced abolitionism:
The ideal or type man Of the future will blend in
himself all that is passionate and emotional in the
darker RACES al tnt is s p aad SPIRITUAL nd IN

as regards color The purest miscegen will be brown,
aDd fuiness and sappieness Of form not now
dreamed of by any individual people.
Adam, the prcsenitcr of the race, as hi. very name
