could serve his own ends by so doing,
They both refer 10 the fact that under
the Constitution Of Louisiana, ool0red
children have the legal right H. enter
any aud all Of the public schools. No
one has attempted 10 deny this. The
children Of negro parents certainly
have the right, the only question 10,
do they serve their own inter-
est by trying 10 exercise it2 The
whole matter is not one VI law, but Of
common sense. Ample educational
facilities have been provided for the
colored children Of The Crescent City

friends, they only injure themselves by

for the whites. We are assured of the
fact that the mass Of the respectable
colored people of New Orleans enter
tain this belief, aud we have as yet nc
reason to depart from the opinion pro
viously expressed, that the prescn

twill be taken for granted that the Bible
teaches the existence of God. This declara-
tion is either true or false. If it is false, how
are We to account for the world? How did
the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth and
the countless millions of beings which swarm
on its bosom and sport in its waters, come
into existence? Will it be said that the world
made itself? The human mind revolts at
such an idea. No human being can compre;
hend what self.creation means. 1t involves
an impossibility. 1t supposes thing to be
before it is. There was time when it was
not, and yet if it created itself it acted before
it had an existence. No one can believe this.
If it be said that the world is the result of
certain laws. Grant it; but it may be in
quired who made those laws? If it is said
they are natures laws. Grant this also; but
who made nature? If it is replied nature
was not made, but is self:existent, then Na'
ture is God aad the maker of all things )
The harmony which exists among all parts
of creation, confirms the Scripture doctrine
respecting the existence of God. The gov
ernment Of the world must ,fll every reflect
