THEFGFgRE OF THE NEGRO
A Proposed Great Nationality in

A Proposed Great Nationality in
Africa.
H, M. Turner, an influential negro
preacher and politician of Savannah,
writes az follows to the Morning News
of that city:
For several DAYS you have been
hurting at my head heavy philippines
about my African project, but you in
varibly connect me. with the Liberian
colonization enterprise. l hope you
will do me the justice to disconnect
me front Liberia, as ] am no advocate
of that institution. | do hold, how
ever; that God, in permitting the sla-
ferN Ct ttie nerie In this country, in
tended it to rebound to the civilization
and Characterization of Africa, other
wise we would have to charge our
Maker with folly. l further believe
that we (the colored people,, like the
Israelites, have ultimately to return
10 our fatherland, and carry with us
the form of civilization, and the prac-
tice Of that Christian religion we have
learned from ytur white people. This

be said. | by no means advocate the
emigration of the cOlored people in

be impracticable and rainaus to the

ihe time has arrived for the colored
people to begin the work Providence
has assigned us. | believe that the
whites Of the country will ultimately
have to do as the Egyptians did-lend
us their earrings, tinger-rings, and
other precious ornaments, and Jewels,
or. in other words, give Us aid to re,
turn to our fatherland and build up q
negro nationality, that we may teach
our brethren there the principles Of
civil government the religion of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Could
