None is so blind as he who will not
see. OF all ignorance, learned ignorance
| is the worst. A Cornell professor by
| lllc IldlIlo VI UCuho says UIldU tHC uCS y
has doue nothing remarkable in history,
| and that the negro is incapable Of self
government. The children of Ham,
now represented in the negro, were
as shown in the book of Genesis. as
| we'll as in profane histories and in the
works Of classic writers, the first to
lead off on the grand march of civiliza-
tion after the flood, thus laying both
| the Shemitic and Japhetic races
throughout future ages under tribute
for their earliest germs of civiliza-
tion. Their debt in this respect can
never be fully paid to the great Ha
mitic race. Three of the sons of Ham
in particular Cush, the founder Of the
great Babylonian kingdom; Mizraim
Of the Egyptian kingdom; and Canaan
of "the Land of Canaan" prove beyonC
all doubt, that we, as children of Ham
are a superior people and are adapted
to the very highest stage of civilization
We produced the first city, the first
kingdom and the first sciences after the
flood And it is written that "Ethiopia
shall soon stretch out her hands unto
God" Such men as Prof. jerks may
show their prejudice, but they cannot
change the designs Of the Creator.

Presiding Elder Simons filed the
pulpit at St Pauls A. Nj. +. church Sun
day, May %, and in his morning dis
course gave utterance TO some highly
practical points of life, drawn from the
Holy writ A large audience appreciated
in the highest degree the eloquent way
the elder thundered against the mali
cious treatment of our southern brethren.
In conclusion he said that we needed
strong men in the church and strong men
i'm the nation who knew the right and
had the courage to stand up for it. At
two o'clock he preached the funeral Of
James Williams. In the evening he de-
liyered one of the finest and deepest dis
courses ever heard in Springfield. His
text was. 1.-The law Of the Lord is per-
fect''. Psalm 49, The church was crowd
ed, and the vast audience listened with
eager ears and perfect silence while the
elder demonstrated both philOsOphically
and mathematcally that the Heavens
declared the glory Of God and the firma-
ment showeth his handiwork." 1t was
evident that he was a careful student OF
Natural Philosophy in all its hearing. He
showed that G d created through the
universe an equilibrium, that is, that
matter may change its form but it is not
lost. therefore, it was impossible for man
to be annihilated, but that his soul lived
through all eternity. May the Almighty
God multiply the number of such men,
for they have power in the community,
and any church may consider its pulpit
we'll graced with such Il man to honor it
as presiding Elder Simons.

O Country, It's for thee
Pledged to fair Liberty
For thee we cry;
Land where our fathers CAME,
Land of our mothers shame,
Land of our toll and pain,
Must thou, too, die:
Die to the sense of wrong,
While on the lips, the song
OF liberty?
False to thy sacred trust
False to thy hallowed dust
False to the true and just
Who died for thee!
Shame on thy starry crown!
No black hand tore 1t GOWN
In days of strife:
Rut blood of bond and free,
Thy black sons gave TO thee'
And saved by loyalty
A nations life.
"These black sons have no rlght,,
For which thou needs't to hghU
Thou now dost say.
We hurl thy sentence back
From million throats of black.
Pray God, thou clear the track
For Feedom's way!
Shall Justice longer call
From legislative hall
TO thee IN vain!
Where is thy boasted power!
Thine is the waiting hOur,
Rise. and no longer cover,
Remove thy stain.
Then shall we sing Of thee,
Land Of the noble free
Thy name we love,
Ours, too, this land so bright'

Protect us by its might
