ORIGIN OF TIE FACES OF MEL


The last lecture of the first course was delivered
last Friday evening TO good audience Before
the lecture commenced, the Professor announced
that he mad been requested to deiiyer a supli-
mental course of three lectures, end would do 80
If those present would express desire hat he
should The expression was given by the unani-
M ons rising or the audience from their Aeats. lie
tben announced that the three lectures would
take place Monday, the Is tn. Thursday, the 18TH,
and Tuesday, the I'D.
He said we ave a saying that human nature
lie the same the world over; hEt this is mis- le
Human nature is no more alike, the world ov
er. than yen are ike the Chinaman. How did
those differences come about? In general, ami
mails take the color from their habitst-the AMI
malls of the snowy regions of the north are white
those Of the red brown por tons of tbs earth
are red brown, and so on. This, protective adj
antation for the animals safety-fot he is thus
better enabled to secrete himself. The same law
of nature which brings abont these results ope-
crates with man in q similar manner-tne races
which had their origin in the light colored re-
gions are light colored-the races Of the red
Drawn, are red brown !; and the races that fret
lived where the soil is black, are black The
human race is essentially one. five begin with
the races of to-day and trace them back. we shall
in that al the European and the Eastern Asian
were united four oil five thousand years ago IL
what is ca led the Aryan race. The on-Hindoo
of East ern India, the American Indian, the peo-
pie ofthe Islands Of the Indian and Pacific Ocean,
the Jew and the African races unite IN the stock
called the Turanian. The Turanian race was the
father of all the dark coleIed peoplc-the Aryan
the father OF all the light colored races. The
whites came from Eastern Asia-the blacks from
Africa or the ancient continent supposed to have
sunk ages ago, and now lies beneath the Indian
and Pacific Oceans. To which ofthese races did
the Adam belong-was there white Adam a
black Adam Did the Aryan and the Furanian
spring from common stock-or which started
as the Adam We do not know but one thing
is pretty we'll established that mar at first was
hunter; and as a consequence his character as a
hunter partook Of the nature of the animals With
which he had to contest. IF the animals were
small, weak and timid as in Australia and the
South Sea Islands, then the hunter was in keep
ing with his environments -weak and tinid. I'll
the animals were strong and brave--the man
the hunter-wae strong and brave. From being a |
hunter man gradually became shepnerd-he
tanned the animals that would be useful to him.
If, as in many portions Of the earth there were
no animals that man could use if tanned, then
man would never get higher than the hunter,
aud would always remain a savage-but where
he did find animals fit to tame he would beco me
shepherd-and aa such would have leisure and
become, as the original name Of man signifies,
the thinker From the shepherd-the thinker
+bc+ hot
he could use would be cultivated-improved |
and the animals which he had tanned would be of
still further use to him in this advance to the
higher civilization. In countries where there
were no plants, tubers or grains fit for cultivation,
man would never rise above the shepherd. seit
IS Nowhere, except in ASIA and small portion
OF South America were there the vegetables ft |
for man to cultivate. In Asia we find to-day |
the wild grains, the tuters and the vegetables |
from which man has made most of the edibes |
of to- day and from that country have they spread
over nearly all parts Of the globe. In South
America, the Peruvians had attained TO a nigh |
state of civilization, but had been killed, destroy
ed, murdered by the avaricious -bigoted Span
iards and to-day we have only the descendants
of the Western Asian to represent this race of
farmers and from which has come oil the civiliza-
ton Of to-day. For the races that have got no
higher thar the hunter we car 90 nothing For
the Indian we can do nothing but let him die. |
For the African we can do nothing. He that is
an African let him be an African still-he that is
q Mcdoc, let him be q Modoc still-they cannot
change Backward through the past we find ages
on ages OF preparation-in the present., great
the time to come, man is looking |
forward and upward to the summit of his highest
aspirations TO the future rest and peace-to the
